I want to use Scotchguard protection on my Fabia vRS seats. I tried local Asda, Sainsburys, Megaspares, several car accessory shops, B&Q, Homebase, Focus and nobody stocks it.

Allied Carpets told me that Scotchgard has been taken off the market due to environmental problems. They suggested I use "Guardsman" but didnt know where to get it from.

Any advice on this matter welcome, inc. website where I can get it from. :confused:

look harder at b&q they do stock it

I used Diamondbrite, and got the paintwork kit and stuff to do the seats for

There have been environmental and health concerns about it but I believe 3M changed the formula.

I bought two (400ml) tins of diamonbrite upholstery protector off e-bay at

Wish i'd protected my seats, they've got really dirty lately.

Thanks for that info. I've ordered some on-line from that site.

I cleaned my seats with a VAX Spot Scrubber a month or so ago and it made a great job of them.

I bought some 3M Scotchguard spray at the same time, but forgot to use it.

I found it yesterday, so I'm going to spray the front passenger seat and rear bench, then I'll re-clean the drivers seat and spray that once it's dry.

Does it really make that much difference? I've never used any sort of stain protection before.

Got a can of carplan foam valet from asda. Works a treat and only cost 4 quid. Have tried stain protectors before but didn't stop coffee or irn-bru stains. Better off just cleaning the seats every 3-4 months.

I'd clean them up, then apply one of the protection products? Vax Spot Scrubber gets my vote, but the stuff from Asda sounds like it's worth trying too...
