So clean! Looks amazing

Plastics need some attn though.

I have some inexpensive leds (same as my interior t10s) in my plate lights. Still looks good.

Thanks, I was gonna replace the step pads but just the top ones were close to $200 a side going to try some back to black on them, see how that holds up and go from there

Yeah. I hadnt realized how discolored it all was until i scrubbed the center console and resprayed the drivers seat. The shale tan color looked so much lighter.
What's the process? Spray it on, scrub it then wipe it off? Good for plastic too? Won't give the plastics that white haze discoloration?

I removed mine and used Krylon Fusion in satin black and 2 years later they still look new.

Spray it on and buff it off. I just use my regular all purpose cleaner interior dilution to clean plastics.

Deep cleaned the leather seats. Tried scrubbing bubbles. So gross. The mf towel was bright yellow before I started.

Layed down a couple of coats of classic coat shale. SEM 17203 Shale Classic Coat - 16 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H6O2VA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xWIQzb6MSWJPX

After a prep spray

SEM 38353 Plastic Prep - 12 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B3HXWFO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JXIQzbKKH2R6R

First pic is pre classic coat

The scratches and wear creases are much less noticeable.

Not as good as new but a huge improvement for $35 or so for 4 bucket seats. Good enough for my kid hauler.

Wish i got 2x cans of classic coat though for more layers.

I got the new cover from TheSeatShop.com. Top quality and a great factory color match. Used a tip they suggested and cleaned the seat back with Scrubbing Bubbles, then leather conditioner. Man it clean up the dirty seat back really well. Left side and top have already been cleaned.

All done:

Did you get new foam too? It looks great. Mine could probably use new foam. I tried the scrubbing bubbles thanks to your post mentioning that the seat shop recommended it. Id heard that before but that put me over the top. Worked a treat thanks!

Yes, i got new foam. Mine wasn't terrible, but I figured replace it all now while I had it all apart. I was amazed at how well the Scrubbing Bubbles worked also. I'd never heard of that until the seat shop mentioned it. I'm hoping to do the rest of my seats today. Just make sure you put conditioner on the seat afterwards.
