Evo seats are waterproof?!

I keep a gallon jug of water in my car just incase I get thirsty. I took a turn pretty hard the other day and the jug tumbled over in the front passenger seat and the cap popped off. I saw water rushing out so I pulled over immediately to try and stop it.

There was a good 20-30 seconds before I could do anything and there was probably half a cup of water spilled out in the seat. To my surprise, the water didn't get soaked in! It just stayed there in a pool. I was able to scoop out the water with my hand and throw it out of the car.

Just thought it was cool and I should mention it.

3m it, anything could be waterproof.

I sprayed some of the 3m finish sprayer, keeps the liquid out of the seats... long enough for me to clean it up.

some of the evo's come with the dealer installed care package (your $1000 3m spray), which helps on proofing liquid and keeps things clean.

I spilled taro milk on my seat... and it's definitely not liquid-proof... You can't see it anymore, thankfully. =)
