    Is your bisque interior starting to show it's age?

    My bisque colored seats, armrest, & center cosole lid seem to get dirty by just looking at them.

    The Bisque is horrible. Looks nice but dirt magnet. I put Wet Okoles on mine 2 weeks after buying the car. They still look new 5 years later.

    I went to Kmart and bought a nice hand towel that is bisque'ish colored and draped it over the center armrest. I havent figured out how to protect anything else yet (Im anti-seat covers).

    You just never had a pair of hi quality seat covers. Wet Okoles are the sh*t.

    There very tough, waterproof and add about 1/2 inch of cushion. Those and wheelskinz for the steering wheel are the best things I bought for the car. The steering wheel was like a cheese grater to my calloused hands.

    My bisque interior is about 4.5 years old now. Only problem I had is the drivers arm rest on the door panel wore out prematurely. It was replaced before the 3-year warranty was up. Otherwise it still looks great.

    Unfortunately the PHV is not available with bisque interior or I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It tends to hide dirt more and looks lighter than the dark grey interior which I don't care for. Yeah, my new PHV on order has the downgraded interior color LOL
