Scotchguard/Splotchy fabrics?

Hi all,

My Dad just picked up his new 2010 F150, and absolutely loves it.

My question is- he wishes to Scotchguard the seats. Now, I remember when I had my 2004 with the gray cloth, the seats would stain if anything touched them, and if I Tuff-Stuff'd the seats, I had to clean the entire seat to avoid a splotchy appearance when it dried.

Are these new fabrics any better? I like him to be able to Scotchguard them, but not if it will wreak havoc with the fabric.

Here is his new truck...

sweet truck! But you didn't mention what type, color interior it has... I don't know about the different interiors myself, but I'm sure the different colors, etc make a difference.

FWIW, I used Scotchguard on my stone cloth interior and there were no color irregularities when it dried.

when I had my old 04 FX4 with light grey cloth, I had my dealer apply their interior protection package (I think it was Scotchguard) and I never had any staining issues with those seats in 5 years of ownership.

I did mine last Friday. Several light coats worked well for me.

Sorry about that- it's a gray interior...

My '04 was notorious for water spots, and if you tried to clean the fabric, it would "ring" where it was wet- I had to wet the entire seat and let it dry so it would dry uniformly.

Sounds like they resolved it, I know they did a fabric upgrade...

Thanks for the input all!
