Leather versus Vinyl

hfbradley01 · #1 (**permalink**) 21-02-06, 09:16 PM

I'm going to sort out my interior in a few weeks so I thought I'd do a bit of research first.

The question is "do I go for vinyl or leather, and what are the pro's and con's".

Cheers

Leather or you will end up sweating your bo****ks off with vinyl, you can get leather seats with vinyl on the rear of the seat backs, which will save money.

At least with vinyl when they get wet it's just a quick wipe down with a dry cloth. With leather it's cleaning, treating, protecting.... etc.

5 minutes versus about an hour....

I'd rather have the 55 minutes relaxing....

It isn't actually, when mine get wet I just wipe them with a towel and thats it, they are treated with Autoglym leather care.

Mike as you know been in Europe a lot and it has been really hot but to my surprise not suffered too much with a sweaty back

and like Iain says with Vinyl you just wipe it down and that is it, no need to clean and feed and all the other stuff you need to occasionally do to leather.
