Everybody was pretty surprised to learn that the latest Premier pick-up truck comes with cherry red leather seats. While there are those who think that the color is a bold but pleasing change to the usual neutral colors for leather seats, (perhaps it's a testament to the car company's commitment to taking things to the next level) a lot of pick-up truck fans are struggling with their conservative aesthetics to really become used to this rather shocking hue.
Why not red? It's such a dynamic color after all, a lot of Asians even believe that it's a very lucky shade, and besides, the latest pick-up truck comes in red (black, white and silver) anyway, so with the red leather seats, there's continuity of the color concept. For those who have issues with it, it probably really just takes some getting used to.
To those who want to preserve the quality of the red leather seats of their new pick-up truck, car dealers provide cleaning tips to make sure that the high quality leather retains its impressive appearance for a very long time.
Typically, upon purchase of the vehicle, a manual is provided to the new owner and included in the manual are tips on how to care for and maintain the vehicle's upholstery. In case the manual gets lost, the tips here will surely be a big help.
Leather can become really dry; to prevent this, it's important that it's dusted regularly and hide food is occasionally applied. According to experts, basic maintenance involves keeping it away from direct heat exposure and using a damp cloth to wipe away grime. It would help a lot if the car windows are heavily tinted to lessen the damaging effects of direct sunlight and heat to the leather.
Also, avoid using alcohol because this has really drying effects that can morph the intensity of the color and the overall appearance of the red leather seats. Stick to the cleansing agents recommended by the experts.
For polish, give the leather seats a good wiping with a cleaning sponge until the desired shine is achieved. After this, it's best to spray the leather with a protective agent as this can repel wetness and types of dirt.
As for wetness that really seeped through, it's going to be very hard to get rid of it especially if it also has a really funky odour. You would really have to take the seats to the professionals because it can stain and the initial odour it had can morph into something more foul-smelling.
