And I will ask again, what is RL?

Great turnaround. Looks like you added a little color to it too!

For all inquiring, RL stands for Rightlook. He mentioned it in another thread.

hahaha sorry bad spelling here...I meant steam...did you steam the leather?

 

[Dust2Glory]

oh heck no, i don't use steam. it's water. i use leather cleaner and a stiff upholstry brush when i do leather

I would post the products used even if AG doesn't carry them, so that way other AGer's can check out new products and how the work. Heck, AG didn't carry Menzerna and many people posted about Menzerna and how great it is. Next thing you know AG is now carrying Menzerna and is always looking for other great products to carry and keep us all happy.
