i never had leather seats dried up and crack before, and all i do is wipe with damp cloth or the 3M leather cleaner.

I noticed fabric will be very dusty and difficult to clean, I read fabric is hardest to clean compared to pu/leather, leather costs thousands? @_@ How about semi leather?? Is it good and worth?

DK-Schweizer is pretty good... they offer basically any of the leather services you might need... and yes real leather will cost you a few k.... only problem i have faced so far is a burnt bum after parking in the hot sun for a few hours.....

Sometimes bring pets in the car, and their fur all over fabric is a nightmare to clean ... whats difference semi leather and full leather ? in terms of quality and pricing ? PU is so bad ?

PU is so bad ?  There's a saying, "Cheap No Good, Good No Cheap". You basically get what you pay for in some or many purchases. If you have pets, all the more reason for getting full leather which would be more durable. PU cracks and tears even easier. If you want something that last, then the obvious choice is full leather. What's the point of saving some money, when eventually you will have to fork out more money again to replace those that have cracked or torn?

Agree with you now need to check and know estimated pricing, n budget for it ... any estimation price range ? only car seats to be leather...doors and panel all no need....

Anyway, now that we know it's due to pets, this is a cheaper alternative http://www.petsmart.com/dog/seat-protector...?var_id=36-7575Many brands, colors and types .. google for it and you'll find one that you like. I had intended to get this when I saw it in Australia pet store. Plans changed when I decided not to move to my landed property. So, no dogs for me.
