Detailing the seats in George Harrison's 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS
Here's a detail of a lifetime... cleaning and detailing the original leather seats in a classic Ferrari owned by George Harrison from the Beatles!
Here's the car....
Here's the band....
Here's the man!
George Harrison playing the Sitar
Time to get to it...
To tackle this car I created a simple to-do list on a white board. I shared a lot of the different aspects of detailing this car to my Facebook and Instagram page and when shooting the videos I referenced this to-do list. It shared anyone following along where I was at with the process as well as kept me on task.
Because the Leatherique Rejuvenating Oil is supposed to soak into the leather and do it's magic for a few hours, I listed it as the first thing to do. After applying and working the Leatherique Rejuvenating Oil into all the leather surfaces I could then move onto other areas of the car and come back to the 2nd step later.
These are the Leatherique Twins and in front of them are a pair of Griot's Garage PFM Wax Removal Towels. These are the perfect size to fit your hand PLUS no needing to fold them 4-ways, which makes working with towesl for this kind of cleaning cumbersome and awkward.
Interior looks clean huh?
The technique is simple, use an generous amount of product and apply and massage over every square inch of leather and then let it soak for a few hours.
Moving to the other side now...
The white cloth tells the real story....
It's shortly after 10:00am. I'll let the oil soak and move onto the convertible top and back window.
To really appreciate the dirt level removed from the seats, it helps to place the once white cloth on a larger white towel.
Yuck!

That's because that's what I like to do. I don't get excited to clean interiors. That said, I am good at detailing interiors, I just am lazy by nature and prefer to not have to get down on my knees and do this type of work.
