Recommendations for interior suede protection.

Looking for what everybody else is doing to protect the suede on the seats. I can see this becoming a PITA maintaining especially is not properly treated from the beginning. Thanks

Soft bristle brush, or vacuum weekly is what I've done.

What about a spay treatment like suede shoes and boots?

Dry treatment works better. Are you dealing with a stain?

Just keep it clean and dry, vacuuming and brushing should suffice.

Nope didn't see it on my phone, I'll take a look. I always sucked at taking care of suede shoes and both looking forward to the seats...

Protect it, you'll be glad you did.
This is what I use on my clients cars.

This worked for me, mine was pretty bad. I followed this procedure and after about 3 times going over it, it looked like new again. 25K miles at the time btw

Sstg, that is expensive! Holy smokes batman!
ZME, really, that was a thoughtful response, didn't your mother tell you if you don't have nothing to say then don't say nothing at all....

Right now I'm looking for what if anything are you guys using to protect it. SSTG that stuff looks like it works good but kinda pricey, how often you apply it? Thanks
