I would just change clothes before leaving.  For example, towel off a bit and then put some sweat pants on over your shorts and put on a fresh t-shirt.  When I go to the gym, I wear those thin sweat wicking cloths like Hanes Cool Dri and when I leave, I just put my jeans on over them and either put on my jacket in cool weather or put a larger cotton shirt on over the Cool Dri.  Good enough to get home.

There are some oddly hostile comments on this. Get a grip guys, even if the gym has a shower I prefer to drive home and shower. I'd rather sit stinky for an extra 15 mins and have my own private showe

No, I have never thought about it. I express methane gas into my fabric seats regularly to test them. never noticed any issue. If I was going to get in my seat while drenched in sweat I would sit

Maybe shower after your workout. Otherwise, some good seat covers you can wash the funk out of.

Do a lot of you guys not clean your cloth interiors?

Think of it like clothes, to an extent. If you NEVER do it, they'll start to stink!

The foaming aerosol cleaners seem to do a great job. Spray on, agitate a little with a brush, let it sit for 10 minutes, then use a shop vac to get the foam off. Leave the doors open for about an hour and a half, and your seats and carpets are good and fresh.

I wouldn't think of going more than 6 months without cleaning the seats.

I do crossfit and am in the same situation as you, sweaty with no available shower.  I change my shirt and i have a towel seat cover that clips around my seat.  Not this exact one but very similar.

Try this.

 

https://www.amazon.com/ARIES-3142-09-58-25-Inch-Universal-Protector/dp/B009M0S4U2

 

I have been using protectors like this for many years to protect my seats after I have been working, walking trails, riding my bicycle or when I need to get parts in the middle of some repair to the house or a vehicle.

 

I slip it over the headrest when I need it or anticipate needing it and remove it when it is not needed. I roll it up and store it behind the seat when not in use (RCSB).

 

I have tried towels but found that they tend to fall off the seat back and wad up behind my back. I even tried sewing button holes (with a sewing machine my wife had) in towels and anchoring them with the headrest bars but they tended to tear out after a few uses.

 

On a hot summer day, I would sweat through a towel before the AC would cool me enough.

 

This protector has worked well for me.

The best solution is just to take a shower, lol. In general, I respect people who take care of their own body and health because not everyone has the courage and patience to do so.

I've gone through the same thoughts, after a rugby practice I don't really want to climb in all soaked onto my cloth seats. We just use the high school field with no building access, so no shower possible. Most of the time I get by with taking my shirt off as soon as we're done, and delay putting on a fresh shirt until right before I hop in to try to let the sweat air dry. Doesn't work the best in the humid summers but better than full sweat. I've tried doing towels etc but yeah they fall down right quick.

wipe ya stank butt off before getting in.

So, does that mean he drives home naked? Or put the sweaty clothes back on? I think during the summer months I would be OK driving naked with the cooled seats on, winter with the heated function on, maybe....

Know this only applies to seats with the cool/heat function.

Back in the day there were arguments over how much to mill the heads and still run pump gas... and now we have questions on how to keep the seats clean.  Sigh.

Don't forget all the talk about screens. Sad for sure [emoji31]

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In their own words:    https://blog.amsoil.com/how-engine-sludge-forms-and-how-to-prevent-it-2/   [Quote] Synthetic Oil Helps Prevent Sludge Fortunately, sludge and varnish deposits are something that can be controlled. Using thermally stable synthetic base oils reduces the rate of degradation (oxidation).   Antioxidant additives further help reduce the rate of degradation. One of the most widely used is zinc dithiophosphate. Not only is it an excellent oxidation inhibitor, but it is also an outstanding anti-wear additive.   High-Quality Additives Fight Sludge Fortunately, it is possible to address many of the issues that occur after the initial oxidation stage. Additives, such as detergents and dispersants, help promote the suspension of contaminants within the oil and keep them from agglomerating.   Detergents, which are also alkaline in nature, assist in neutralizing acids generated in the sludge-building process. Antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives are consumed during use.   To achieve maximum life expectancy, use a motor oil with high concentrations of antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives.  [End Quote]   So quality base oil and then the last sentence above. TBN and ZDP levels matter. The one thing not covered was sufficient viscosity. Sad.     And yet we now have since API SN lower amount of them all with the only real change being a slight up tick in base oil selection. Along with lower concentrations of everything that makes oil work and lower and lower viscosity there is still an insistence on longer OCI's.    How low does the peanut butter and jelly level have to get before we say it's just white bread folded?    The new smoke and mirror treatment is the 'additives are INVISIBLE' to UOA testing with a health dose of TRUST ME.    I'm not picking on AMSOIL. This is coming from all of them. Every last one of them that abandon the low wear model in favor of the high mpg/EPA compliance model.

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.
