Scotchguard Alternatives? - PhilW

I know this has cropped up before but I can't find it in Forum Search (no doubt DD or ND will find several threads!!) but daughter has just bought a new car and was offered upholstery and paint protestion for £299. Having spent all her money I said I would use my Autoglym Resin and a few coats of Extra Gloss and then nip and buy a couple of cans of Scotchguard to do the seats.
Out local store that sells everything under the sun said Scotchguard no longer produced because it stops carpets/furniture rotting when thrown away, therefore no longer environmentally friendly?
I call upon all you experts to suggest an alternative (or 10) which no doubt you will do - so thanks in advance!
My wife says the real alternative is to not spill Coke/chewing gum/etc on the seats which is certainly the cheapest alternative!
The car, by the way, is a Clio 1.5 DCi, with climate, Cd, alloys etc and before anyone says she could have chosen better, it is what she wants! So nothing else counts - you know what kids are like!!
Thanks
PhilW

Thanks DD - I did another search and came up with same link - goodness knows why I didn't find it in the first place - perhaps you have to spell correctly!!
Actually, as everyone knows - it's much easier to get DD to find the links than use the search!!!!
