A shout-out and a public thank you to Unhingd for sending me a bottle of Prep n' Polish. FABULOUS stuff! I LOVED the way it went on. I LOVED the way - and ease - that it came off. And, of course, I LOVE the finished look of my F-Type. Home - Proform Auto - Paint Protection, Paintless Dent Repair, Tinting, Detailing Proform Auto ?

From what I know and have read, just using water on leather is the worst thing you can do. Adding lanolin occasionally is necessary to keep it from drying out. For my " around town car" I have an '89 Cadillac Allante' that was washed once a month and likely wiped down with wet cloth on the leather interior by the elderly owners. I have been soaking the leather in conditioner for 2 weeks to soften the leather enough to keep it from cracking when I drive. Great driver, just not cared for for 112,000 miles.

Be sure to look into detailers that apply 22ple for the paint coat... Unbelievable finish and lasting protection. Not as much $$ thrown into it's marketing. Instead it is invested in the formulation that seems to have created a product that truly works. end of the day, the success of the coat is all about the surface prep. Nothing like a paint correction for the base! I also recammend 'Bead Maker' Bead Maker Paint Protectant as an after wash, maintenance enhancer that really keeps the paint popping!
