Journey416 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hello, I am considering having the dealership stain guard my 2012 seats, does anybody know of a cheaper alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb227 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Could you not buy Scotchgard and just spray the seats yourself? Would be much cheaper, assuming this is for cloth seats. However, I believe the seats in the Journey already have a stain repellant in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jod Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Find a suitable product and spray it on yourself if you want to add more stain repellant. I worked at 3 different Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler dealerships as a the clean-up guy. One of the biggest profit products they used to sell was "Stain Repellant" and "Corrosion Protection Application". The prices they charged were outrageous for both items. They actually had a guy come in and apply both items. It took him 30 minutes total to do both. That was the late 1980's and early 90's. The salesman just salivated when they sold these "add-ons". I've never used these products myself. We have a good Bissell carpet cleaner that we use in the house and use it on the car seats about once a year or when a bad stain pops up. I think that drb227 might also be correct about the built in stain repellant in the factory seats/fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyke Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I've always refused extra's like that as they are useless in most cases; I have kids (3 year old and 11 year old) and they've dropped plenty of things on the cloth seats (melted chocolate..ugh...)and all have come out with a simple wet cloth. the only thing I had a problem with was blood in the headliner from mosquito I killed...but then again, I don't believe they protect the headliner For the rust protections, while some people swear by it, out of the factory should be more than sufficient if you take care of rinsing/cleaning off the salt from your car over the winter months. 2 years ago, my old Caliber had the paint cracked on the rear passenger door due to some shmuck running into it and it never rusted. The metals and factory treatment of them have come a long way over the last 15-20 years... Cheers! Steph S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
