06 cloth seat stains!
The leather themselves were not that expensive but after installation, logos on all the seats, tax, heaters for the front, it all came out to just under $1500.
The blue insert didn’t come out the way I wanted. I’m going to call Katzkin to see if they will work with me to get the insert part switched to navy blue which should match the logo a little better and what I wanted all along. When I was comparing the leather swatches, the navy looked almost black and the blue that’s on the truck now matched the logo thread better….unit I seen the finished product.
If you go to the Katzkin website you can find a local dealer (that’s what I did) that will order and install them. The website also has a program that allows you to play with different color configurations.

Soory for the delayed response...I hate it when work cuts into my screwing off time
Anyway..It will take out the water stains, but make sure you foam down the whole area with the Tuff Stuff, let it sit for a few minutes, and then use a CLEAN towel to mop it up. I'm gonna clean my seats this week end, and then Scotchgard the crap out of them. We'll see what happens.

Did you spray the ENTIRE area, or just the spot? You need to spray a large area in order to avoid making things worse. When I did mine, I sprayed the entire seat bolster where the small stains were. It dries in about an hour, give or take, based on outside air temp. Hope this helps!

Thats about $400 cdn for front and back. Double that and you can probably get into the leather Katzkins if you install yourself. I may go that route one day.
Theres a place in Vancouver that installs them, Im going to check them out maybe next week and see how they look, cost, etc.

Okay, I'll hold off, let me know what you find out please. Are the Katz all leather? Or leather faces, vinyl sides or?
I was going to have them sent to a friend just over the line and put them on there.
BTW, where you at in Surrey? I'm in the Fleetwood area.
I went to a NBT for my free rotation. When I opened the door i saw that the tech had gotten all the grease in the shop on my drivers seat... Long story short, Oxy Clean auto cleaner at Walmart took it all out and it looks like new.
Fisherman, check out Katzkin.com for details. Supposed to better than factory all leather material from the looks of it. A few threads on here about it as well.
I phoned a few places and one place wanted $2000 installed and another was about $1500 or so. Seems to take a good day, day and a half to get it done depending on vehicle. I may hit the place in Van next week and talk to them a bit. Im in no big hurry to get my seats done yet, no extra cash for this. Getting ready for the nicer weather ahead by putting in some seats for the alum boat and a boat loader so I can pull the trailer.
