Default Tips for protecting luxe seats on rainy days/going to the beach?

Hi, I wanted to know if the community had any specific tips on how they prepare for really heavy rainy days or going to the beach if they use any specific brand of towel/protector/unique damage prevention against wet clothes for luxe seats. Might be a dumb question but appreciate all answers.

*This is assuming I don’t want to use seat covers all the time*

Thanks!

Modern car vinyl is very durable. Can simply wipe it down after.

So the only situation i'd cover the seats is if you plan on having a ton of sand on you. Not for the water, necessarily. Even then, the most I'd do would be to just simply lay a towel on the seat. Maybe buy a couple of cheap towels and cut two holes in them for the headrest and call it a day. The ride home can't be that long. Sounds like something you may be overthinking.

For me, I clean my interior with Nextzett, extremely effective and BMW's in house brand for cleaning products. They've been around. Good on all interior surfaces, provides UV protection, and stains go away instant. that's the most i'd do. =)

Thanks so much! I use Turtle Wax specifically for luxe seats right now, not sure how that measures up but I’ll definitely look into getting that one!

It doesn't. lol. Netzett is pro grade stuff. as i said, BMW uses them and simply puts the BMW logos on their product and sells them at their dealers.
