So do you guys use leather conditioner on top of the dashboard also? I’ve had my G8 GT since January and haven’t applied anything to the dash.
thanks...
Yup! Slap it on and enjoy a greaseless shine and lots-o UV Protection!

It gets so much better

Turned out nice!! That Leather Conditioner kinda changes the whole look of the interior on these cars doesn't it?
It totally does, looks like a whole new car. Mine's nowhere near as nice as yours yet but It'll get there by the end of this bottle I'm sure

Ok, so here's my ride. 09 G8 GT in Magnetic Grey Metallic. Washed her today but gave her one coat of buttery 2 weeks ago.

Onto the interior. I have no "before" pics, but mine looked just like Zeus'. Dry and grey and nasty.

All the interior pics were after only one coat. So while it's not even close to being "there" yet, it's a DRASTIC improvement over what it was at this time yesterday.

Bring on some pics when you get a chance, would love to see what it looks like.
I don't own a camera but the one on my new phone is pretty decent so I'll snap a few and throw em on here

I would wait til tomorrow and then go back over the seats with the red pad on any areas of the leather that look like they are splotchy. I had to do this a couple of times after applying by hand so that everything looked evened out. It's easy, after the first couple applications you will get used to it. Dont be scared to coat some areas with a good coat of the stuff. The more saturated I get the red applicator the better the dash and door panels and stuff seem to look.
I was scared to use too much on the dash and the doors cause I didn't see how it would "soak in" and I didn't want to leave it looking wet or feel greasy to the touch. I'll try adding more to those areas when I go back over it today

Ok folks! I vacuumed and dusted the interior of my G8 (only 6,000 miles on a car thats a year and a half old, not that dirty) then I wiped everything down with the interior cleaner and a microfiber rag.
I then coated the entire dash, doors, and center console and armrest with a thin layer of the conditioner with the red interior pad.
Then I moved onto the seats where I ditched the pad for my bare hands and gobs and gobs of product. All in all I used about a fourth of the bottle I would say and my seats are looking nice and moisturized.
How long will these take to dry so that I can apply again? I want to get these bad boys good and soaked so that in the future I won't have to use so much each time.
Thanks again! Thanks Adam!

Quick question, I was so excited about the conditioner that I forgot the kit came with all this other stuff. Do you guys cut any of the interior, leather, or glass cleaners with water?
-
it just got here, and boy are you guys (and gal) right. This stuff smells AMAZING. I'm gonna slap it all on after work and see how it soaks it up after I clean it.
I have a feeling that I'll blaze through this entire bottle within the next week and get it good and moisturized, and then I'll order at least another bottle to replace it when the In and Out spray becomes available!
-
wooooow man....I just checked the Fed Ex tracking system, it'll be here tomorrow!!!
-
The entire interior is covered in leather conditioner, dash, doors, seats, center console, panels in floorboard.....everything. I am addicted to it though, and put it on about once every two weeks....lol. So I think that might be why mine looks so dark and moist all the time. It took a few applications to get it to that level though. The only place I use VRT for interior purposes is the rubber seals around the door.
Wow, absolutely amazing. It looks like a totally different car ya know? The G8 interior looks like a chalky black or dark grey because it's so dry.
Got an e-mail today saying that my Interior Kit shipped today, can't wait to try to get mine looking like yours in a few days.
-
Oh my god Zeus, I have an MGM G8 GT and I would KILL for my interior to look like that.
I ordered my perfect interior kit last Thursday, but it still hasn't shipped yet but should be here soon.
What do you use and where?
G8 seats?
