    I've looked at the "normal" selections I've found on CarID.com and similar sites, and I've tried a couple of types but haven't been impressed.

    So ... does anyone in the sub here have any recommendations for a decent dash cover, and good seat covers (hopefully seat covers that are easy to take off and clean since I'm a slob).

    TIA.

    If you get a choose a dash cover, get a black one.

    Light colored ones cause a really bad reflection on the windshield. I bought a beige one initially but switch it out for a black one.

    Personally, I love really sheepskin seat covers.

    Hospitals in the NICU use sheepskins for premature babies who have to spend hours and hours in an incubator.

    Sheepskin seat covers are warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer.

    +1 on getting a dark colored dashcover.

    Sheepskin? I had genuine Merino sheepskin seat covers in two of my vehicles... in 1990 and 1998 lol.

    The OP says they're a "slob", so unless they want to shell out for dry cleaning, I think sheepskin is out.

    Nowadays, I prefer neoprene or "wetsuit" material for seat covers. They are water proof, so rain and other liquids can be easily cleaned off. Get a good quality one that is a bit thicker. It will be much more durable.
