It was called Mac's Rust Inhibitor. I couldn't find it on their site so could be sold under a different name?

Even though this is the first bucket seat done. I will say they are way easier to do than the rear seat. The front seats were the worst due to the wrinkles on the bolsters and the horizontal ribs were off.
So many mistakes the previous installer did I am not sure where to begin. On the seat bottoms the sides they did not attack the muslin which wraps around the frame and keeps the side cushions in place so the do not kick inside the frame. The burlap was installed incorrectly and the foam was not added to the upper side bolster area. Around the upper frame perimeter they did not add the material to protect the molded seat foam from the frame to wear through.

So now to the upper seat back. They left the old worn out smelly burlap with wire and mounted new burlap on top of...Just last by not replacing the listing wire as the seat bottom. The backside moulded foam was not hog tied to the frame. Also, the headrest areas were not cut out of the foam....Additional foam was not added to the side bolsters to prevent wrinkles...
When I do the driver seat I will have more pictures of the install....

Great job! So about how long did it take you to do one seat? Not counting disassembly.

Every time we talk and when you say what you did during the course of the day......it makes me feel like a couch potato in comparison, lol....I get exhausted from what you did in just a manner of a couple hours...
Everyone has their own pace. Mine is wide open, however it's sometimes not in a straight line.
