    Color coming off leather when cleaning

    Never anything aggressive. It was either leatherique, optimum leather or ultima. I'll check the other areas tomorrow but the color was coming off around the thigh bolster area but the nearby seat bottom wasn't losing any color. Both areas look the same still Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Color coming off leather when cleaning

    I purchased it brand new so for sure the seats weren't refinished (unless the factory did it) Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Color coming off leather when cleaning

    Toady I cleaned the Monaco Red leather seats on my '11 G37. I sprayed on some Ultima Interior Shampoo, let it dwell for a short time (45-60 seconds) then proceeded to scrub lightly with a slightly damp terry cloth towel. In some spots of the seat I noticed that I would end up with pinkish...

    Stripping tires not fun

    I got an untouched set of 18" wheels/tires for my wifes car. Swapped them with the dealer for what we already had on the car, so they were off and ready for me to clean up. Since the car they were from just came off the truck they had no dealer installed junk on them. And they still took me...

    Cleaning Factory Wheels

    My winter wheels are actually like this, and a whole lot worse. But for the price (free, with good winter tires!) I didnt mind. There are a few DIYs out there on how to refinish them. Basically involves heavy duty paint stripper to remove the existing clearcoat and paint, then you sand and...

    auto butler? and honda interior

    I wonder if it looks good because whatever sealant they use actually manages to fill the swirls the machine creates, like a glaze. Id be interested to see what happens if you run it thru the machine, then go wash it yourself with a LSP-killing wash. BTW - I would NOT be putting a new Pilot...

    Coating painted wheels: Pay for pro coating or gtechniq c1

    Thanks everyone. Looks like Ill use the C1 that I already have. Hitting the wheels with Dub wheel cleaner to remove any iron and will clay and polish them by hand afterwards. The wheels have 5 miles on them (literally, just 5) so they are already pretty clean. Shouldnt take too much work to...

    Coating painted wheels: Pay for pro coating or gtechniq c1

    I Want to use a coating on the wheels of our new car. I have the option of paying a detailer for opticoat pro, or I can do them myself with some gtechniq c1 I bought forever ago. "Permanent" would be great on wheels since its a pain to keep them clean (especially the 5 twin spoke design of our...

    Need an order cancelled, but its the weekend

    So they extended the summer sale (great!) but I had placed an order last night right before the original end (not great!) Now that I had time to remember what I forgot to put on the order, how can I make sure the order from last night doesn't get shipped? I will place a new order tonight for...

    Cquartz Leather and Vinyl Coating (NOT Fabric and Leather), reviews?

    Noticed it was hard to find reviews on the CQuart Leather and Vinyl coating. Seen plenty of the Fabric and Leather one, but Im interested in the Leather/Vinyl version for application on our new Lexus seats (semi-aniline leather) Im debating since its fairly permanent, at least it claims to be...

    UIGP vs dedicated leather product

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, one of our cars would be "new leather" but I also want to make sure I remove whatever (if anything) the dealer "installed" during their prep...the prep I told them NOT to do but they did anyway. Our new car has semi-aniline leather and my daily driver just has...

    UIGP vs dedicated leather product

    Ran out of my supply of Leatherique so Im looking to order some new product for leather. I like the reviews on UIGP and the "tactile feel" that everyone raves about, but I was curious if Im better off with a dedicated leather product. Specifically the Leather Doctor kit(s). I know UIGP has...

    What color car to get: easiest to maintain

    I just went thru this myself. Originally wanted white. We got one of each car we had narrowed it down to, each for a day. First day was a Starfire Pearl Lexus ES350. Gorgeous color, beautiful in the sun. Second day was a Bellanova White Pearl Acura TLX. Looked nice and white when I left...
