Seat Covers for Heavy Industry

If you work in construction, contracting or heavy industry, you know how messy your work truck can get. Oil spills, concrete, dirty tools and mud are regular visitors to your truck's interior, and you know you'd never want to meet a date for lunch in that truck. Not only that, but once you've used your truck for work, its resale value is nil - nobody's going to want to buy a truck with oil-stained seats.

You know that you could have gotten car seat covers, but there's no use ruining them, too - and besides, plush and fleece could never stand up to the beating your truck's interior goes through every day. But there are options for heavy industry and commercial use.

For an original look that matches your truck's originally manufactured car seats, OEM Truck Seat Covers are the seat covers to choose. They are durable and water resistant, machine washable, and easy to install.

For style and durability, choose Vinyl Truck Seat Covers. These truck seatcovers are made from high grade upholstery vinyl and will protect your truck's original seats from wear and tear as well as mess. As an added benefit, vinyl can be wiped down

For the utmost in durability, Cordura Truck Seat Covers can't be beat. Cordura is thick, heavy, waterproof and can stand up to the toughest of messes and spills. It's also highly resistant to abrasions, scuffs and tears, so it'll protect your original truck seats no matter what you throw at it.
Cordura is
* 2 x more durable than standard nylon
* 3 x more durable than polyester
* 10 x more durable than cotton duck
And it's still machine washable. Cordura can also be used as a highly protective pet seat cover.

How To Resell Your Car For More

If you've ever bought a new car, you understand the frustration of knowing that as soon as you drive off the lot, the value of your car is depreciating. It's a fact of life; cars cost a lot and you don't get much back for them when you resell. There are a few ways to protect your resale value, such as repairing dings and scratches right away, keeping your car clean and well-maintained, and retaining the receipts from any upkeep you do on your vehicle. Oh, and, of course, any used car expert will recommend that you avoid personalizing your vehicle, and avoid eating in your vehicle. After all, nobody wants to drive around in someone else's decor, or sit on their old ketchup stains. It's an inconvenience, but it's common sense, right?

This is where seat covers come in. Not only will they protect your car or truck's seats from spilled coffee, crumbs and melting chocolate, but they come in a huge variety of patterns, styles and fabrics. Your car can be funky and personal, or sleek and sophisticated. Good seatcovers are custom-fit to your vehicle, and can even look like the manufacturer's original seats if you want to be incognito.

Here's our guide to car and truck seatcover types and their myriad of uses.

OEM Original Look Seatcovers - these covers are water resistant, machine washable, and simple to install. They're made from the same fabrics as your Dodge, Chevy or Ford, so they won't look like seat covers at all.

Hawaiian Seat Covers - choose from a huge array of wild prints and colours. These will turn any plain factory vehicle into a funky ride. Hawaiian print seatcovers are a hit with teens and grown-ups alike, and are especially popular in sunny climes.
If Hawaiian print isn't your style, you can also get Animal Print (or Deluxe Animal Print).

Sheepskin Seatcovers - these luxuriously soft seat covers are made of genuine sheep skin. We recommend these for high-end sports cars, or for anyone who wants to feel like they're driving in extreme style. They come in many colours, not just white and tan.

Military Camo Seat Covers and RealTree Seatcovers - these ultra-durable seat covers look great in any truck or Jeep. They're perfect for the avid outdoorsman or military aficionado. Military camo even comes in pink.

The sleek look of Neoprene Seat Covers can't be matched when it comes to outfitting streetracing and drag cars. Neo prene seatcovers soup up the look of any super-fast coupe.

Investing in seat covers has the potential to add a significant figure to the resale value of your car, and besides that, they're fun.
