Neoprene seat covers are known for their comfort, durability and protection. They can help maintain top condition of your car seats and offer long lasting performance. But you need to maintain them in order to keep them in good condition.
If you are looking for wet suit seat covers, neoprene is the ideal material to go with.

Hand washing can be done for deeper cleaning

So it is a good idea to park your car in a shaded area and if this is not possible, you can use a car sunshade to protect the neoprene seat covers. You should not leave damp or wet seat covers exposed to direct sunlight.
