I choose to go with the cloth interior since the last 5 cars I have owned have all been leather. I was wondering if its ok to scotch guard it, as a protectant?
I have a penchant for expensive (not that expensive, but expensive for my blood! ) purses and I swear by scotchgard and a tide-to-go pen. Just spray the scotchgard on a non-visible spot on the interior and wait at least a full day, maybe 2, to make sure it doesn't discolor. Then do about 3 full coatings that are very thin, not thick coats.
Indeed you can. I wanted a tan interior when I originally ordered my Passion in '07--leather wasn't available in that color, so I opted for the beige fabric. I Scotchguarded the entire interior fabric area (seats, doors, carpets, dash) with several coats. It still looks as good as when I picked it up at the dealer.
I personally don't use scotchguard because it contains PFCs. In this modern world they are everywhere but I prefer to limit my exposure to them as much as possible. They build up in the body over a lifetime and can be absorbed through skin contact (they also don't degrade in the environment, so they show up everywhere). As more studies are done about PFCs their toxicity rating keeps getting upgraded.

I had thought Scotchguard was off the market for those reasons. I have been supprised to see it around lately.

Misscatears, Where do you pick up Scotchgaurd at? I haven't been able to find it around here.
