Car seats can be divided into separate seats and long seats according to shape; according to functions, they can be divided into fixed, detachable, and adjustable; according to the number of occupants, they can be divided into single, double, and multi-person seats. According to the performance of the seat, from the earliest fixed seat, it has been developed to the multi-functional power adjustment seat, including the air cushion seat, the electric seat, the stereo seat, the spirit recovery seat, and the electronic adjustment seat. . According to the material, it is divided into leather seats and flannel seats. There are also seats for special use objects, such as child seats and racing seats.

leather seat

my country's automobile industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and will continue to develop steadily for a period of time in the future. This has a large demand for seats, so the passenger car seat industry still has a huge room for development in the future.

Two advantages

1. Easy to clean. Compared with the fabric cover seat, the dust can only fall on the surface of the leather seat, and will not penetrate deep into the seat, so the cleaning work can be completed by wiping with a cloth, and it is also necessary for the flannel seat. Buy seat cushions, etc., otherwise, if soiled, there is a chance that it will seep into the inside of the seat.

2. It is easier to dissipate heat. Although leather also absorbs heat, its heat dissipation performance is better.

Two points are not enough

1. The surface is vulnerable. Sharp objects are the nemesis of leather, so leather seats need more careful care.

2. Sit too slippery. Owners may use seat belts or add cushions to deal with this problem. In fact, the general manufacturers have already wrinkled the surface of the leather to increase the friction coefficient in response to this problem.

1. Cortex

Yellow leather, also known as A-grade leather, is the most common material used in all car leather seats. The surface is delicate and soft, with almost no pores. The texture is strong and very tough. Extremely beautiful.

Buffalo leather is also known as B-grade leather. Compared with yellow cowhide, the advantage is that it is strong and wear-resistant. The disadvantage is that it is not soft enough, has poor hand feeling, poor toughness, rough surface and clear pores. Compared with yellow cowhide, the processed seat looks slightly worse.

In addition to the above two types of leather, there is often a C-grade leather on the market, that is, the second layer of cattle and buffalo.

C-grade leather, compared with A-grade leather and B-grade leather, is much different in terms of quality, beauty, price and service life. Therefore, it is not recommended for customers to use leather-finished seats below class B.

Under normal circumstances, the seats processed from A-grade leather and B-grade leather can generally be used for more than 5 to 8 years. That is to say, in China, even if the car is scrapped or updated, the leather seat can basically be used. kept intact.

The advantage of C-grade leather is that it is cheap, but its life is short, and it is not advisable for customers to choose to use C-grade leather.

Whether it is good skin or inferior skin, the key is to maintain it. If the daily maintenance is not proper, the service life is only 1-2 years. For this reason, it is recommended to maintain it once a month and clean it once every three months, which can be used for life.

Just as leather shoes should be maintained with shoe polish, leather seats should be maintained with a leather polish (an oily agent). Dry, peeling leather. The owner can ask the car beauty shop to do it, or they can do it themselves.

Second, identify the true and false

Look, the skin is smooth, the skin texture is fine, the color is bright, and there are tiny pores.

Touch, this is the most effective way. Good leather feels soft, smooth and elastic. If the leather surface has many particles, is hard or sticky, it is inferior.

Burning, although synthetic leather is also leather, during the processing, some glue-like chemicals will be added, and there will be some scorch after burning, but there is no real leather.

Wipe, use a damp fine gauze cloth to wipe back and forth on the leather surface nine times, if there is discoloration, it means that the quality is not good enough.

Pull, pull up the leather with both hands and pull it to both sides. If there are seams on the leather surface or a light white background is exposed, it means that the elasticity of the leather and the dyeing process are not good enough.

3. Cleaning and maintenance

Simple maintenance method of leather

1. The car leather chair should be as far as possible two feet away from the heat source. If it is too close to the heat source, the leather will dry out.

2. Do not expose to the sun for a long time to avoid fading of the leather

3. Regular cleaning and maintenance, and use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust for a week

4. Do not use a hair dryer to quickly dry the leather during cleaning, but let it dry naturally.

Leather seat maintenance method

Most of the middle and high-end sedans have leather seats, and many drivers install leather seats by themselves, which are comfortable, luxurious and noble, and have a long service life. Leather is a natural thing, and it is natural to not take it lightly when it is maintained. Dry with a cotton paper towel after washing. In daily maintenance, in addition to avoiding sharp objects from scratching the leather, you should also pay attention to dust and sun protection. Because the dust is pervasive, it will absorb the natural oils in the leather, and it will become a dry skin. The scorching sun can age human skin, and the same applies to leather seats. So for the maintenance of leather seats, do the following:

1. The car leather chair should be two feet away from the heat source as far as possible. If it is too close to the heat source, the leather will dry out;

2. Do not expose to the sun for a long time, so as to avoid fading of the leather, especially friends who drive open-top sports cars, do not damage the skin for a while.

3. Regularly carry out cleaning and maintenance, and use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust every week;

4. Do not use a hair dryer to quickly dry the leather after cleaning, but dry it with tissue paper or a soft towel to avoid scratching the leather. You can also dry it naturally in a cool and ventilated place.

5. Do not use chemical cleaning agents to clean. And use less so-called leather protectant, which will make the leather dependent, and if you stop using it, the leather will be dull.

6. Most of the middle and high-end cars have leather seats. Chemical cleaning agents cannot be sprayed on. Strong alkaline cleaning agents, such as soapy water, should be used. Soak with a clean soft towel in warm water, apply an appropriate amount of soap evenly on the towel, and then gently wipe the seat. After wiping the soap, let it air dry, and then wipe it twice with a wet towel that does not contain soap after cleaning. This method also applies to the door trim and the plastic parts of the instrument panel. The reason is that the soap has strong decontamination and no irritation to human skin, so it is more practical for leather parts. Do not use a hair dryer to quickly dry the leather after cleaning, dry it with tissue paper or a soft towel to avoid scratching the leather, or dry it naturally in a cool and ventilated place.

7. The biggest enemy of leather is scissors, hard objects and high temperature. Always be careful with sharp objects tearing the leather. In order to prolong the service life, exposure to sunlight should be avoided, preferably not exceeding 60 °C. Therefore, for cars equipped with leather seats, it is best to stick a sunscreen (anti-ultraviolet and infrared radiation), and usually choose a cool place when parking to avoid long-term exposure to the sun, which will make the leather hard, cracked, and faded.
