This is what I use, power adjustable, tried one very similar to what you show but was not powerful enough!

Might be alright, it looks like it may be bigger than the std lighter ones. Compare it next to a cheaper one and make sure it's bigger.
I know an Arrow T50 gun will do it but they are quiet dear.

Haha,
You buy it to recover you're own seat for a little less than a service would charge and before you know it you're buying tiger print fabric to re do your seat, lol!

Looks good that gun. Now, where's the best place to buy seat material or a pre-formed cover to stop me sliding all over the place. Prefer non slip material to Koala fur  :lol

Ebay, loads of vinyl on there, search vinyl fabric, all the colours under the sun.

And in all seriousness my tiger print cover is referred to as ponyskin, there's other types out there, there's a little noticeable wear on mine where I've been sat, but it's done about 10,000 miles and cost about £4/5 for the material for the seat.
With mine I left the original vinyl on and just recovered that, keeps the sponge dry!
