I'll see if I can procure one. It all looks like leather, superficially. I've been hanging around a Volvo forum too and I have number opinions that are pretty much congruent regarding leather/not leather. It's what to do with the knowledge that I'm wondering about, if there's a serious issue if...

I'm still confused about a couple things about leather and "leather-like" care. I get that parts of my seats are not leather, and things like the brake and shifter boot might or might not be leather. So I've been trying to figure that out, what's leather and what's not. But now I wonder if it...

Howdy neighbor! Been a colder and wetter one this fall, huh?

I believe an application of AIO will do all the stripping that is needed.

I thought I had shaken it up enough until I inverted the bottle and observed that there was about an inch of thick stuff clinging to the bottom. I gently beat the bottle against my workbench until that stuff released and then shook it in. Now when I invert the bottle I can see through the...

So if I want to get what I was going for, I need to clean this off and start with another sealant base application, is that right? Or can I lay another layer right on top of the one that got damp?

I'm laughing really - living in a semi-arid part of the country and I see the forecast and think nah, it won't materialize, and even if it does it's more than 12 hours out... and it's not just a little rain that showed up early, it's a good soaker! I just get too excited and impatient...

Yesterday morning, so it was on for about 24 hours before the second was applied.

Well that low probability of a bit of rain late in the evening turned into a little shower early in the afternoon, about 4 hours after a second coat of Wolfgang sealant was applied. Is it a done deal that this goofed it up? What symptom am I going to be watching for and what remediation is...

Hello!

Thank you Ed. So another way to to think of this is that you want a good number of hours for it to cure before the dusk dew event, and while 12 hours would be best, something like 6 hours is OK - is that my lesson?

Hello, I'm prepping for a new-to-me car detail with new-to-me Wolfgang products. One thing I'm scratching my head about is this line from from the Deep Gloss Paint Sealant instructions: Do not apply sealant before dusk because dew will interfere with the adhesion to the paint. I do not have a...

That's a good tip, and I hadn't been thinking about that recently, changing pad size for a contour. Unlike my last car, I have some narrow body colored pillars. Smaller pads will be handy there, too. Is there any issue with blending the area where you switch from one pad to another and working...

Hello, I have the 3 part Wolfgang stuff on the way. I have a Volvo XC70 wagon, silver and a couple years old, that is new to me. I want to work out some flaws and make it mine with a good detail, as is my style. I've had a PC buffer for some time and I've worked with a number of products...

Thanks Harleyguy. The Volvo is silver and black with off black leather and rich but more muted plastics throughout, and the glass from the passenger seats back is tinted very dark. It's dramatic and strong, I think, and a little bit badas* for a Volvo. With the silver, all that black body...

Hiya, I've lurked here a while off and on an thought I'd say hello. Just picked up an 06 Volvo XC70 and I'm re-evaluating my usual MO and coming up with a strategy for this beautiful car. Some time ago ago I got on the step-above-the-usual detailing track with my last car, a Saab 900 coupe...
