0 bigred vette Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Great review! You don't realize how much dirt and grime you have on your interior panels until your really give them a good cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Rich Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 One thing to keep in mind when using the leather conditioner is that if your seats are new or haven't been conditioned in a while, you may need to apply several coats to really see the results. If they're really dry, you'll find that your seats may appear streaked after one coat. My new Impala really sucked up the first coat and the second coat. The third coat made the seats all look new again. Same with the Vette. It usually takes two coats to get the result I'm after. But the seats all look great!

0 G8V8 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks. I'll double check and see what a second coat does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Crazy obsessive mad scientist type detailer checking in here -- for seats that have gone a long time without conditioning I prefer to use an almost excessive amount of product and massage it in HARD by hand, as in with my bare hands kinda like a massage for your leather. Afterall it is just skin when you think about it!! I really rub it in there and apply a lot of pressure. Once the surface is entirely treated I wipe off the excess with a cotton terry towel, wait a bit then apply a normal coat with a foam applicator. The excess pressure, product and massaging soften the leather and allow the product to be worked deep into the surface... also makes your hands soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 BlueJacket Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 What is the best way to condition perforated leather? I noticed that after using the leather conditioner that some of the holes did not get the conditioner into them. Do I just need to use more and push harder?

0 Team Adam's Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Try my 'by hand' method... trust me... sounds weird, but it really works... just completed a detail today and conditioned some really nasty leather like this.

0 BlueJacket Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Apply more coats:2thumbs: I had to use 3/4 of a bottle just to get all of the holes in the front seats. I gave up before starting the rear ones. There's got to be a better way. Try my 'by hand' method... trust me... sounds weird, but it really works... just completed a detail today and conditioned some really nasty leather like this. Made it super soft and pliable again. I tried using my hand, red pad that comes with the conditioner and a MF pad and it took for ever to get the front seats to about 95%. Is there a way to water down the conditioner to make it easier to get in these stupid little holes? Other then the holes the seats look great and the conditioner did a great job on the doors.
