As Workshop saver are commonly referred to covers for all sorts of parts of the car. The wording sounds a bit clumsy, but it is actually so: The covers are available for the front seats (driver and passenger side), for steering wheel, Fittings, gearshift, handbrake (these three often in a set), fenders right and left. They are available for the bonnet, wheel arches and other individual parts of the car. For the discs, front, back and side, they exist as well as for the mirrors and the rear. It would be pointless to enumerate at this point all different types of workshop protectors and probably not very interesting, because there are also universal saver that can be attached via rubber bands and tie straps almost everywhere on car, motorcycle, bicycle, trike, quad and other vehicles. Quality Workshop saver are characterized by the fact that they are both easy to disassemble and remain reliably where they are fixed.

Differentiation according to materials

Depending on the type of repair make dust protection, waterproof cover or simple upholstery sense. And accordingly, the materials that make up are also diverse Workshop saver consist. The simplest seat covers are made of thin fleece and primarily protect against coarse dirt. These covers are disposed of after use and not cleaned. Workshop saver Faux leather (primarily seat savers), on the other hand, are fitted with spar gums and are suitable for many different seat shapes and sizes. They are washable, so they also protect against moist impurities, such as oils and water. Synthetic leather covers are not disposed of after use, but cleaned and reused. Here, some attention is required, because artificial leather is made of polymers, ie plastics that do not tolerate all chemicals and simply dissolve when in contact with harsh detergents, solvents or acids. The correct use of workshop protective covers should be clarified with the manufacturer. Rather an exception are absorbent and washable Workshop saver made of cotton, which are intended for repeated use, but do not provide complete protection against liquids.

Plastic is not the same as plastic

Although plastic is a common material name, many groups of materials with very different properties are actually behind it. Particularly resistant workshop protectors are made of PVC and are therefore both waterproof and oil-resistant. PVC is considered to be extremely durable material. Textile More beautifulAlthough usually made of polymers (plastic), but not always waterproof. When buying so should be paid to the exact material specification. Nylon is particularly light as a material, but has the disadvantage that it is not so durable. PP as a material, however, is quite stable again, the savers can be cleaned and used for a long time. By the way, high quality products made in the EU are almost always odorless. As a quality criterion in terms of material safety, it is worth to pay attention to it.

Not only interesting for workshops

The workshop saver is by far not only interesting for car repair shops. Admittedly, not all types of seat covers make sense outside specialist repair shops. Protective covers for the seats, which are available in workshop quality, but also the seats for holidays by the sea suncreamand protect sand, keep wet dog paws away from the cushions and protect the seats from wet or dirty clothes. This also applies to protective covers for the rear seat: Thanks to rubber straps and tie ribbons, the covers are easy to attach and keep animal hair, food crumbs, chocolate stains and children’s shoes away from the seats. The protective covers for other parts of the car are still interesting when parts are to be protected from dirt, scratches or dust during tire changes or other minor interventions on the car. After all, the car does not have to go to the workshop for everything, many people do trifles themselves.
