If you have leather car seats, you may be worried about maintaining them as time goes on. The sun’s UV rays in particular can cause considerable damage without the right protection, resulting in dried out, faded, and cracked leather. Avoid these issues with fade prevention tips from Bi-State Glass Coatings, the window tinting service protecting residential and vehicle interiors throughout Granite City, IL.

How to Prevent Fading Leather Car Seats

Keep the Vehicle Covered or in a Garage

Purchase a car cover or keep the vehicle in your garage whenever you are not driving it. Both of these options protect the paint job as well as the leather interior to maintain the look of your vehicle for years. If you are using a cover, choose one that features strong UV protection properties. You may want to use a car cover even if you do keep the vehicle in a garage simply to protect it from dust, dirt, grime, and skin oils.

Schedule Window Tinting Installation

Work with a team of car window tinting experts for additional leather seat preservation. Window tinting prevents UV ray infiltration and protects leather seats. Many tinting options also reduce glare to promote safer driving. Window tinting laws vary by state, so determine what is best—and legal—for protecting leather interiors.

Clean the Interior Regularly

Additional tips for keeping your car seats in great condition include regular vacuuming to avoid stains from food crumbs and other debris. Clean the seats as needed with a manufacturer-recommended leather cleaner to eliminate spots and stains, and never use harsh detergent or cleaners with silicone oils, petroleum solvents, and glossing agents.
