Absolutely. The correct technical name for the material used in vinyl siding is polyvinyl chloride. It's a strong, durable, proven material that has earned a solid reputation for its beauty and permanence. It's used in automotive applications, medical devices, defense weapons, appliances, floor coverings, and of course, home construction. It's ideal as an exterior material because vinyl siding doesn't rot, crack, dent or warp. Plus it never peels or blisters. See similar questions...

Ordinarily, the cleaning action of a rainfall will be adequate to wash your vinyl siding. However, vinyl siding and soffit should be washed periodically by hosing with a garden hose and clear water, particularly in those areas not exposed directly to rain. If you desire to do a more thorough cleaning, or where high soil collection conditions occur, use a soft-bristled, long-handled washing brush. It attaches to your garden hose and makes washing your siding easier. Do not rub vigorously. See similar questions...

Vinyl siding or new aluminum may be painted with a 100% acrylic finish without priming, as long as the surface is clean and dry. Weathered aluminum needs to be cleaned and then primed with an oil based primer before applying the acrylic topcoat. When painting vinyl siding, be sure that the color chosen is a shade no darker than the original color because dark colors absorb heat from the sun and may cause warping or buckling.

In the case of aluminum or vinyl sidings use the IPexterior plugs as usual, installed in a 1" drilled hole. You can install the plug without making an unsightly indentation or installation mark in the siding by using a 1 3/8" hole saw on the siding only, which will allow the plug to be drawn up flush with the siding and prevent any buckling when the cap is installed. If there are signs of the siding buckling, back off on the plug so that the cap fits snugly against the siding. See similar questions...

No, we only sell yardage. We believe there are plenty of good, fair priced, auto trimmers in the US that can do a much better job of sewing and installing the upholstery than you would ever get with a pre-made set of covers. Buying covers is just one part of the equation. The seats must still be rebuilt to fit the covers, and at that point you are going to the upholstery shop anyway. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the covers will not fit, no matter how much work is done on the seat. See similar questions...
