Leather Help, QUICK. Only have 2 days...

**72Malibu** · 07-07-2021, 08:05 AM

Church van broke down, so now have to use Acura MDX to haul kids to church camp and back (5hrs each way). I do keep leather interior kept up with Leatherique.

Anything I should use on seats for this (hopefully) one trip event?

If Leatherique treatment is enough, great. If not, what can I top seats with for a little extra protection? Meguairs leather? Chemical Guys leather? Something else?

I am limited to what I can get locally from big box stores as leaving in 2 days.

Thank you so much!!

Put plastic down and blankets over the seat bottoms if you think it could get that messy.

Plastic drop cloths used for painting [you can find them at the dollar store] and then cover them with white cotton bed sheets.

That’s just a guess though, I’ve never actually done it, so use your best judgment before taking my word for it.

Enforce the no food or drinks in the car rule. Stop at a rest stop and eat and drink at the picnic tables. Done. The car is not a Chuck-E-Cheese.

The old "Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" works every time.

I'd also echo the suggestion to cover the seats with some sheets/blankets, but I'd skip putting the plastic down ... that would just let the blanket/sheet slip and slide all over the place. Moving blankets would probably offer the best protection along these lines. HD, Lowes, UHAUL, etc. carry them.

Moving blankets? I wouldn’t put moving blankets on my good leather seats.

Just imagine if he’s got Fine Corrinthian Leather. Moving blankets shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near such rare hide. Lol.

A car rental might be in order.

Thanks all.

Beach towels are already on the list. The kids are 8-14, and only 4 in that range, plus 2 late teens, and the Queen doing the driving. Already threatened the kids with shaving their heads if they mess up the car. I’m not concerned with them making a mess, but for the accidental spill. I’ve got some ‘brand x’ leather protectant. Maybe day they leave, I’ll just give the seats a quick wipedown with it for a temp added layer of protection and just plan on doing a full Leatherique cleaning when back home to remove brand x and whatever else.

Thanks again for those that answered
