Title: Ultraleather cab seats
Post by: dollinsdale on July 22, 2018, 01:51:32 pm
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to clean/maintain the “ultraleather” high back cab seats? Are these seats actually leather or a synthetic material? Anyone recommend a particular product or procedure they have had success with?

"Ultraleather" (also several other names for the same material) is not real leather; it's polyurethane, so it doesn't require any special treatment that one might want to do with real leather. I'd just wipe it off (and "rinse" wipe-off) with a mild "soap" solution, or use white vinegar and warm water.

Think 'Naugahyde'!  A very common material for auto/RV upholstery. I had a cousin in that business and he used tons of the stuff, it wears like iron.   ;)

But, Steve, think of how many little naugas have to be killed to get enough "hyde" for just one seat cover!?!  ;)

 :D   I've never met a Nauga I didn't like! In fact, just recently I had a Naugahyde table cover made for my dinette. Can't say how many it took but they sure are doing yeoman service on that table.  ;)   ;D
