Leather Car Seat Covers:
Some important tips!

Leather car seat covers are a popular choice for people looking to protect their leather car seats and car leather interiors. Leather car upholstery is very appealing to most people and adds a level of sophistication and opulence not seen with traditional cloth upholstery.

Cover That Upholstery

The irony is that many people, in the name of protecting this expensive and fine leather, want to cover it. At a superficial level it appears logical and a smart move to make: the sheepskin seat covers below are a natural choice. (pun intended)

  • They look good.
  • They feel good.
  • They are even made out of leather.

Seems like an easy decision.




The Problem Lies Below

Everywhere in life we are forever left to find the winning combination between the pros and cons. When it comes to leather car seating, choosing this route of protection comes with certain drawbacks you need be aware of.

The picture at left shows the hidden danger of covering your cars leather upholstery; DIRT!

By covering your leather car seats, you create the perfect place for dirt to hide. This dirt only remains to wear further and further into your cars upholstery.


Before you panic just yet, read on and learn from my firsthand experience from the world of professional auto detailing. We need to determine if this choice is more of a solution, or a problem.

The Pros and Cons

As you have learned, adding leather car seat covers comes with problems most people do not consider. While the dirt does get trapped underneath, it is not the end of the world as the picture to the left shows.

The seating to the left is the same from above after it has been professionally cleaned using proper car leather cleaning.

While the trade off will be trapped dirt underneath, the good news is that you can save your cars leather from permanent damages of wear and tear through relatively simple cleaning methods.


While leather represents a certain opulence, it also represents certain inconveniences in the day to day use; cold in the winter and sticky in the summer. And while covering comes with minor drawbacks, using leather car seat covers like sheepskins, still provides an effective alternative.
