    Starting with brand new leather

    Thanks everyone! I went ahead and ordered up some of the Gyeon Leather Shield and cleaner. I did see the page on Katzkin's website about "just wipe it down", but I still always wonder....is whatever they used really going to hold up for 5+ years? The leather has a 3 year warranty, and even...

    Starting with brand new leather

    Recently installed a Katzkin leather kit onto the seats for my RAM 1500. The seats have not been re-installed, they are sitting in my basement and probably will be for a while (freakin cold weather!) While they sit there I was curious....now is probably as good a time as any to apply a product...

    Re-discovered Optimum Hyper Polish.....

    I bought some hyper Polish last year when i got my new truck. Have to say I love it. No issues working in the sun, can correct and still finish well, etc. Easy to remove before gloss coat too. Just used it again over the weekend and still love it. Did they change the COMPOUND or the POLISH...

    Ultima Interior Guard Plus new formula....as good as the old?

    I agree, especially with a product that takes so little each time, by the time you finish even just a small stash of it you could be dealing with a new and "improved" formula. Thanks for the replies so far. I might try and get the smallest possible quantity of the latest version and test it...

    Ultima Interior Guard Plus new formula....as good as the old?

    Been using a small bottle of UGIP for the last few years....love how it works on everything in the interior (even the leather after I finally took the leap of faith!) Now Im running low and see "New and improved!" on the product page. Has anyone used this new and improved formula? Does it...

    Stripping Collinite Fleet Wax

    Thanks everyone. The truck has already been corrected, but it looks like Collinite stuff is so durable the best way to make sure its gone is to polish it. Not sure Im comfortable with the Purple Power stuff on my paint, so Ill hit the area with HyperPolish and a white (or even just a...

    Stripping Collinite Fleet Wax

    Thanks everyone. I was hoping to avoid polishing but that looks like the easiest/most effective way. Im using Optimum HyperPolish so technically I could go from that to Gloss Coat with just a damp microfiber wipedown, but I do the microfiber wipedown followed by an IPA wipedown and then I...

    Stripping Collinite Fleet Wax

    This weekend Im going to finish my Gloss Coat application. I had done everything except the hood since I planned on having a clear bra applied. For the hood I used Collinite FleetWax, but now I need to strip it off before applying the Gloss Coat. What is my best option to strip it? Poor...

    Winterizing tip

    My local Lowes stores have the spray cans, not sure about the gallons. My local NAPA has the gallons, not sure about the spray cans. Id take a common sense approach to it....where you think dirt/sand/salt would "hide" as the car is driven even if you washed it afterwards. Then aim for coating...

    New Truck - A Few Questions

    Picked up a 2017 Big Horn in Bright White just two weeks ago. For some reason I think these trucks look spectacular in white. At least easier to take care of than my Malbec Black G37!

    Winterizing tip

    Ill be putting a tarp down on my driveway and spraying there. The one thing I didnt think through was to see if my new RAM fits in my garage....sat radio antenna makes it too tall! So in the garage is out of the question anyway.

    Winterizing tip

    There are a bunch of other rustproof coating type sprays. Im actually about to try out Corrosion Free, from Canada. I also bought their pro level gun which is actually a good quality paint spray gun, modified for use with the thicker rustproofing liquid. Comes with 3 different hose/nozzle...

    Winterizing tip

    Great tip. VERY important for pickup truck owners, keep those beds rust free as long as you can! (I know, or buy an F150 with aluminum body, but the rest of the undercarriage is still steel and should still be coated with something like Fluid Film)

    Opti Gloss coat application issues

    Yep, pretty sure thats what Im seeing. It was really hard to tell in the sun/overcast since the paint is white, but once it was dark and my LED security light came on the spots stuck out pretty easily. So I was out there in the dark fixing them. Probably never would have noticed in the sun...

    Opti Gloss coat application issues

    Woke up this morning to some unexpected drizzle. Luckily the coating was dry for 12+ hours. Pics attached of the spots in question after I polished down what I thought was high spots. There is definitely something on the paint, pretty sure its the coating (because of the...

    Opti Gloss coat application issues

    Thanks! What I did last night was go back outside with a low nap microfiber and a bit of Hyper Polish sprayed onto it. By hand I went over one of the suspect spots and was able to make the spot disappear. So Im thinking it was either a high spot or I just removed the residue myself. Looking...

    Opti Gloss coat application issues

    Polished my truck yesterday with Optimum Hyper Polish. Seemed great to work with, was able to remove some swirls (truck is white so its hard to see anything but I did remove what I could see). The polish seemed a bit....oily....after I was done, but I wiped each section down quickly with a low...

    Color coming off leather when cleaning

    Thanks. Will I start seeing color come off on clothing, etc? I treated it with UIGP after the cleaning went awry and noticed there was no coloring coming off on the cloths I was using to buff off the UIGP. Found that to be somewhat encouraging and odd at the same time!

    Color coming off leather when cleaning

    Thanks for the info. So just leave the leather alone? Was just worried this will lead to complications sooner or later (probably later from the looks of the other replies) Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
