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 ?

Thanks again U!

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.
I have used Leatherique products on my 1996 XJS for years. The interior on that car (which I've had for 7 years now)was pretty dry and this stuff worked like magic after 4-5 initial applications over a 1 year period. The products are billed as restoration, but they clean and maintain better than anything I've ever used. My '16 F-Type has the premium red leather interior and I will certainly be using this product to clean and maintain.

Suede inserts = baby wipes. Thought it must be crazy, however works great.

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!
