    Leatherique and Pigmented Leather?

    I"m not quite sure on your definition of pigmented leather, but I did an application on a 10 yr old Honda this past Summer and was very pleased with the results. Prior to application, my leather was hardening into a plastic like feeling and forming cracks as the moisture was leaving the...

    step stool,platform or scaffolding to reach taller vehicles

    I've got one of those ladders. While it's a great design features like Work table for tool storage, and handle for carrying ladder; it's less durable than I had expected. The frame is solid, but the plastic steps in the ladder aren't as stable as I'd like. It's held some large bodies on it...

    Harbor Freight DA Polisher - New

    I checked this tool out a while back ( kicking tires, not buying ). Unlike Dave's experience, my store had the Polisher but no pads. I tinkered with it, and the castings on power tools look to be much better than the Zaw Saw I purchased 6 or 7 years ago. Looked like a decent machine. The...

    3M Headlight restoration sanding process

    Yep, I had great results too. You don't need to take the lights off the car though. 2 layers of Green tape to protect painted areas around the light.. as suggested per included directions .. and you do the same results with lights on the car.

    Tire cleaner - what product should I be using?

    I started with "Tire Wet" b/c it was dirt cheap. 4 bucks for 23 oz spray bottle and I can do a tire with 1 squirt for maintenance once a week. Seems like alot of bang for the buck. I haven't tried "removing it". I just do a scrub with tire brush and re-apply with left over car wash. Haven't...

    Guide to headlight restoration

    I too am interested in UV protection for Headlights. I got a good surface from 3M kit, but I'd like the best protection to keep it looking as it does now. I started by just winging it with my AIO treatment. I found a kit on ebay for 3M Polish & Protect. It's a 2 part kit similar to what is...

    Tire cleaner - what product should I be using?

    I'm easing into the car Wash, Seal, Wax and Maintain process. I've got my Winter sealants on paint, and tested out the ONR Rinseless Wash for salty Winter days. I found a Tire shine product I like and got the wheel maintenance working well. I'm moving to Tires. I've been just using a brush &...

    Time between coats of Klasse?

    I think the instructions said "at least" 8-12 hours between coats. You want it to fully cure before putting on another coat. 3 hours isn't enough time. 24 hours and you are golden. I just separated the coats by daylight and come in somewhere in between 12- 24 hrs.
