I asked them and they said they weren't in stock? Is it plastic leather? Thanks!

I have ordered the Alacantara with the artificial leather…. This is the design I have ordered, but with red inserts/stitching and for the GC

Quick update, seat covers have arrived and I am having them fitted tomorrow (Friday). So far customer support has been very good from seatskinz, they are contactable via text or phone and reply very quickly. I’ll post some photos once fitted.

Hi Gordon - from their options it is:

Anthracite with dark grey Alacantara with red logo and stitching.

You can fit them yourself and they send you a video link, but I opted to drive over to them in Wigan (they also travel to you, but they wait until they have 3/4 jobs in the same part of the country). Glad I got them to fit as it took them 3hrs…if anybody is wondering, the design I chose was £770 fitting is part of the price whether you do it yourself or not. They had a Cali Ocean come in after me. they also have contracts with a number of ambulance and police forces. I would deffo recommend if anybody is thinking about it. The options are endless, but my better half reigned me in on what budget I had!!

Your seats look lovely, much better options with SeatSkinz compared to all the other options I have seen.

Do you or anyone else have experience of what happens if a drink is accidentely spilled on the different materials? I'm sure the leather look and alcantera will be fine but would like the preforated or fabric centres (suspect will leak through to original seat)?

The main purposes are to brighten up the interior and protect the original seats from stains, I don't want to have to remove them in my ownership once fitted.

We’ve just taken collection of our new GC600 and got the seats treated with Scotchguard by the garage before collection. It was part of a deal that included ceramic coating on exterior, etc. I was a bit sceptical of this but on our second night away, my wife managed to upset a full glass of red wine over a front seat. We wiped it down with a damp cloth and ‘hey presto’, absolutely no sign of a stain or watermark. Not so sure we’ll bother with seat covers now.

Hi - thankfully not had to clean for any reason as yet, but one of the main reasons we chose seatskinz is that they say that they can easily be wiped down and do not leave water marks (unlike the GC seats!!). No reason to doubt them given the emergency services and other companies that they re-cover seats for, loads of haulage companies use them too, I had a good look at their customers when I was waiting for my seat covers fitted. Have to say we are very happy with them so far.

Yes really glad I found them using the forum. I love the red stitching and alcantera on yours, it’s just enough and bet you’re really pleased with them.

I‘ll be buying an Ocean but have a dog and don’t want to be too careful with the covers but also don’t want to stick to them in the summer!

l’m glad they have done the job and worth considering. Does the interior coating have to be reapplied regularly?

The official 3M website advises upholstery should be retreated every 6 months and we have been supplied with ample amounts of products to continue doing so. It's spray on, so easy to do. I suppose the question is whether this advice relates to everyday domestic usage, as opposed to less frequent motorhome usage. A good question, I'll follow this up with dealer.
