What do you guys use to cover the seat in your car while driving in a wet wetsuit?

Two towels. One for complete seat cover/wrap, the second for beneath ass.

More like fabric sheets for me, fold them as I need them, close to gear stick where there is constant dripping from arm, under my heels, booties (no issues with pedals ... been doing this for 6 years, same way), also to wrap wetsuit, etc if needed... Most people use a plastic container for the wetsuit, find it quicker to wrap, then wash sheet...done.

Have 3 sheets in trunk, also I use them on the ground, extend it to put on wetsuit or remove ... more room.

Always handy, lasts a few uses until they reek ... Quick wash, they don't retain odour as towels....

I must admit, if its a short drive <5min, and I'm frothing over surfing another spot.. I don't(15 year old civic). Plastic tote from Wal-Mart is a must for wetsuit. Pro tip: border guards don't like to see a closed lid on the tote.

I have a windbreaker waterproof jacket I sit on and a towel for the back of the seat. Works like a charm. Funny going for gas and gatorade after a session covered in seaweed and sand :p

Owning a convertible helps with the stink factor as well.

I rock the Jesus Chowel, which is two very thick towels sewed together into a garment that bestows the ability to perform small miracles, like ascension from work without a trace.

But my car does stink, but that is mostly coming from the trunk.
