Ultra-Leather

Getting the Tuscany ready to roll next week and doing my semi annual treatment of the Pleather, all the seating in the coach.

Starting many years ago with Marine Vinyl I learned how critical it was to treat it properly if you wanted it to look new after a few years. Started using Aerospace products then and continue to this day

This is the seat my Westie prefers and seat is 7 years old having been used quiet a bit, several trips per year with some several weeks. Grandkids climbing and so on also.

I have also use my Leather treatment products on occasion when they were handy from treating the Trucks or cars upholstery.

Don't know if I was just lucky and got a good batch of Flex Steel or the treatment played a part

Looks fantastic! We learned the same lessons from 30 years on the water. Fortunately I worked for 3M and the company store prices are awesome! We still use 3M and Surhold products on our coach. I would like to trade up to a Tuscany for the drivetrain and finishes. We are going to upgrade the dinette foam. The Aria is not dance enough even for our 10 year old Granddaughter. Maybe just do the seating surface should be easy.

back when we ordered new covers from flexsteel to replace the peeeeeeeeelllllling ones, we changed colors and went with a heavier nagahyde pleather


its night and day differnet in feel and thickness. it cleans real easy with damp cloth and stays shiny


i think coach builders got not the best of materials.



we have always taken very good care as well.

I still use some of the 3M vinyl products today

My main go to is the Aerospace but 3M has some that no one else comes close to

Marine environment will teach you to treat the vinyl or buy new

Thanks, I am really glad given all the issues so many have had

do need to replace the cup holders though, they are rusting out and so far haven't found the direct replacement
