Console Cover - Is this lame?

I just throw a cooling neck gaiter over my console since I like to have one easily accessible for its various uses. I primarily do this because I don’t like the feel of my forearm sticking to the leather and I guess secondarily I don’t have to worry about transferring dirt and sweat into it.
 
I have one but slightly different. Also have seat covers to protect the seats. Use it as my daily and family car.

Alcantara is a man-made material, when it gets matted down (from dirt and hand oils) it can be cleaned with a brush and soap (they have cleaners) to bring back it's original look
 
Got the amazon one black with the red sticthing, really a perfect fit for the bucks, takes a few days to kind of mold to the console but all in all looks nice
 
I got one to stop getting the crap burned out of my arm when it’s 110 outside and my dog tends to stand on it when he’s in the back seeat to look out of the window.
 
I just went with a super simple microfiber. It’s soft on my arm and keeps me from getting burned on that stupid badge. I also keep one in each door for the ladies wearing shorts.

These look great with the red accent interior.

Chemical Guys MIC50903 Premium Red-Line Microfiber Towel (16" x 24") https://a.co/d/cvrNaJq
I ended up going this route in the 16x16 size. Perfectly covers the lid of the console. I never could get all the creases out of that cover and it just fit too loose. Plus, I spill ALL THE TIME, something to wipe up after myself is nice.

You guys burning your arm on the badge need to learn to park in the back of the parking lot, in the shade. LOL. (I have a '21 Powerwagon with a badge and never an issue)
 
Seriously, just put a good sunblocking UV tint on your sunroof and call it a day...

Because your solution in my opinion is ugly as Sin... no offense, but I just can't lie about such things...🤣🇺🇲
 
Here is another option for Vin cover.
They work great. Ive had one on my truck for. Over a year.

It's like people who put on seat covers to keep their leather seats in great shape. I guess the next owner can enjoy the like new leather seats?

Alcantara is easy to clean and looks new afterwards.

I have never been burned by the badge and I live in Texas. I believe when you grab the handle of a hot cast iron pan, your brain is supposed to tell you not to do that again.

I understand the cover for those that have a dog that gets on the cover.

So.. does that mean you won't like the plastic covers on my couch? FINE.
 
Only reason I covered mine was because I had a few people in my truck and their dry ass skin was left behind on the alcantara and that’s nasty as f. Also because my 5lb dog likes to sit on the center console and when she gets groomed her nails are like little razors, she scratches my last ram’s console and it was rubber.

I went with this, it fits perfect, and has been holding up the past 11 months great. It also cleans up very easy (toss in the washer and air dry) - https://a.co/d/gcrohk8

Bingo, Llumar IRX 50 on the sunroof and rears, IRX 25 on the Driver/Pass windows and a Covercraft custom sunshade and I've never burned my arm.
 
Hear me out here (because it was kind of laughably expensive), but if you catch it on sale, Purple's double seat cushion is a perfect fit to sit on top of the center console. It matches the interior reasonably well and feels great to rest your arm on. However, you've always got a nice seat cushion with you, which I've found I use way more than I originally anticipated.

LOL, dude. I may order one of those, not for the truck though. F. I'm getting old, learning about and ordering seat cushions on truck forums. LOL.
