Desert dust—damn Bartact seat covers!

I use a leaf blower and compressed air on my black Bartact covers routinely. It's also followed by wiping them down with a very damp towel. So far, it has worked well.
Just pull the drain plugs, and go at the seats with a hose and a brush... it is a jeep afterall...

I've got an old set of black Wet Okole covers on mine and I just vacuum them and treat them with the UV protectant spray after a day in the sand
the grey cloth suspension seats in my YJ seem to collect way more dust (according to the vacuum cleaner) but it doesn't show nearly as much as the black neoprene cover in the TJ do

I have Bestop seat cover and love them. You can wipe them down with ease.

Iggee for the win. Perfect when you get all greasy and smell like jet fuel. No more sitting on towels so my seats don't soak any of that up. And no stupid logo blasted across the backs.
Well you could not use them and see how your seats look!!??Out here in the desert dust is a serious matter. After what felt like some high speed baja racing in the desert today, my interior is absolutely covered in dust. Wiping it off the dash and other areas isn't a big deal. However, these Bartact seat covers are another story altogether.
The problem I see is two fold. For one, they are black seat covers, which is going to show everything. For two, they are cloth, so instead of wiping them clean like you would with leather or vinyl, you basically have to remove them and throw them in the washer.
For those of you guys living in the desert and wheeling your TJ, what are you running for seats or seat covers? I want something easier to clean, because these cloth seat covers are terrible for the desert (which is too bad, because I really like them otherwise).
Anyways, looking for suggestions
Just saying....
I would probably throw on something cheap and stretchy for days like that.... Or see if I could pull it out with a Shop-Vac.
It really is a true black and it will show any dust that gets on it.
Also I'd wear Spanx. It's bound to make it more fun.
I decided I am just going to get these things in vinyl / synthetic leather:

Let me know if you decide to sell some Bartacts... I let my extra set get away and I need them for my rubicons that I buy to resell and can't seem to let myself let go of.
Yep, I am going to be selling these ones for sure. They are just the front seats, but they are basically brand new. In fact, when I got the Jeep they looked like they hadn't even been sat in, no fade at all.
Works for me... I'm your huckleberry.
That's all I need is a set of fronts... Nobody but kids and midgets can sit in the back of these things anyway.
Cut me a deal and I'll get on here and say stupid stuff....oh, wait, I already do that.
