Need to reupholster your car seats? Faux leather vinyl and faux suede fabrics are perfect for this project.

Automotive vinyl is very durable for upholstering your seats and is a great alternative to leather. Vinyl comes in many colors and styles to truly customize your car. You can also use other upholstery vinyl like these.

Sensuede is another great option that has the soft feel of suede and is also highly durable. It is available in dozens of colors, which you can find here.

Cotton upholstery batting is great for re-upholstering seating. It is about two inches thick and is soft yet durable. This cotton batting is popular for vintage car upholstery because it’s an authentic material typically used in antique cars. Shop cotton batting here.

Pro Stick has several products out to help with a range of automotive projects.

Pro Stick 55 Multi-Purpose Mist Strap Adhesive quickly creates a heat and water resistant bond. It is great for projects with paper, fabric and wood. The spray comes out as more of a mist so it is good for projects that need general adhesive coverage as opposed to targeted coverage.

Pro Stick 95 Trim Spray Adhesive also creates a quick heat and water resistant bond but is used for more specific projects. This product is great for installing headliners in cars, laminates, speakers, or most materials made of plastic.  The spray comes out  targeted, although the nozzle does have three settings.

Pro Stick 65 Hi-Strength Web Spray Adhesive is great for carpets, foam, laminates, trims, and auto interiors. It has a web spray rather than a mist which is better for heavy duty applications.
