R35LEE Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Hi guys, While I'm having my Rays painted I thought I would take the time to do some leather care with the seats. My car is really low mileage but with hide care they can look newer for a good time longer and it reduces the wear lines etc. The pics below are from immediately after application. You rub it in to clean and then leave the excess to absorb in a warm room. I will be leaving the seats to absorb for approx 3 days then buff off excess with a soft cloth. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Looking forward to seeing the end result... Quote
Beavis Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Looking forward to seeing the end result... +1 Just to see if all that stuff comes out of the holes Quote
IanS Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 nice work - just came in from cleaning and conditioning mine with Gliptone. That Connolly look like good stuff. You may need a really fine and soft brush to get into all the perforations though! Quote
R35LEE Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 All the cream will be absorbed into the perforations in the leather faster than anywhere else. I also find that a soft polishing cloth is the best thing to apply with and the use of brushes is not really needed unless you have seats that are really dirty. I will post up the results as soon as they are ready. Quote
Stew Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Looking goos so far. I'll wait to see the results. What are the details? Costs and availablity? I use gliptone regularly but this could be good as a very now and then cleaner. Quote
R35LEE Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Stew, I will find out price from my supplier mate. They have a huge stock and I have used this stuff for years. A Rolls Royce trimmer put me onto it and said it's by far the best stuff to use. I have found it to be excellent. The only time i would use another product is if any leather correction / repair was needed. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 +1 I've also used this for years and have no complaints. Quote
H5 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Connolly are the kings when it comes to leather care - results should be good Quote
Stew Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Cheers. Might be a nice addition to the detailing supplies boxes.... Quote
