Protecting interior when you're dirty

Just curious how ya'll protect your seats when you drive the car home from a workout...

I sweat an extreme amount and after a trail run, muay thai training session, bike ride or w/e I end up layering towels on the seat, arm rests, and try to keep one between the seat belt and myself... It's an extreme pain in the *** and sometimes I really miss my old smelly truck and just jumping in soaking wet with sweat and not worrying about it.

Just looking for tips / tricks on how to protect the interior from my disgusting carcass after a workout.

Keep a change of clothes in the car so you can put on a dry shirt and shorts before you get in.

Try the Seat Shield Ultra Sport. It won't help with the seatbelt or armrest (still gotta use a towel for that) but it protects the seat, is washable, goes on quicker than a towel and (as I found out when taking a friend home after back surgery) allows you to "slide" a person in and out much easier!

I love mine and after a two years is still in good shape. I think I spent around 25 or 30 bucks.

That's what I do. It could be a pain because normally my first instinct after sweaty exercise is to jump in the car and rush home to shower but it's worth to keep funky smell out of this car .

Nothing will replace the convenience of a beater and just jumping in it. But I just feel so guilty and paranoid going anywhere near my leather seats after a trail run or w/e

Most leather interiors can be protected by frequent damping and drying afterwards (unfortunately sweat doesn't count as dampening). You can purchase leather protector online for cheap, its shelf life is pretty lengthy. Don't forget! Cotton cloths are a leather interior's best friend.
