I spoke with the guy the sign wrote my van and today he fitted a carbon look vinyl to the seat backs and it looks good and has covered all the marks.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I am sure I am not the only owner to suffer .No matter how careful I have been once again I have a small number of scratches and scuffs on the back of the hard back seats in my carrera 4 cab. I had them resprayed a few years back and they looked good for a couple of years. Has anyone found any other solution to keep seat backs in mint condition.? Any thoughts appreciated. Regards Scazyp

POST 2Original post

Hi Try Armourfend or3Mpaint Protection Film Have fun Paul Kelley

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Paul Thanks for reply. I have already considered this option as had front of car covered years ago and it really works. It just means the seats will need respray first so probably going to be a reasonably expensive solution, I was just hoping someone may have found a cheaper answer. Best regards Peter Scaysbrook

POST 4Original post

What about vinyl? I've seen some pretty impressive results from vinyl wraps on interior parts.

POST 5Original post

Richards right, vehicle graphics wrap company will be able to apply self adhesive vinyl, which would be scratch resistant and you could have it any any colour I work in the portable display business and have seen some pretty amazing wraps and often scratch proof. Cheers Phil

POST 6Original post

Here is a centre console done in a carbon fibre effect vinyl wrap, using this 3M product: http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/Departments/dinoc-3m-carbon-fibre-vinyl.aspx Apparently, it is easy to apply, and this was done by a DIYer, not professionally.

And here is a dash panel, with some tight curves:

Thanks Guys. I spoke with the guy the sign wrote my van and today he fitted a carbon look vinyl to the seat backs and it looks good and has covered all the marks.

POST 16Original post

I have just returned from having my seat backs vinyl wrapped by 'Your Sign Company' based in Huntingdon Cambs. The colour is a good match to the Guards Red paintwork and centre console. Here is the before pic. I will post another message with the after pic.

POST 18Original post

That look pretty sweet! Nt a fan of wrapped cars, externally, but on the interior I can see the benefits so will give it some thought for the centre column I have a couple of scratches on. I've found that giving interior paintd parts the same attention as exteri paint, i.e. a good, regular quality was, helps keep them in better nick.
