not sure how it compares to the zaino leather products.

i got a small 8oz bottle of LeatherCare spray from Griots for $9.99.
might be worth trying it next time? thing will last a long time.

 

I just got the "Leatherique" kit from DP. I've decided to test it out on my wife's ten-year old, world-travelled, war-torn leather backpack first, since that will be a *real* test of how well it works.

I've finished with the first step of the treatment, so the second step will be tomorrow. So far so good, but there are two things that are weird:

1) When you have two products, one called a "rejuvenating oil" and the other called a "cleaner", it seems very strange to use the rejuvenating oil first, followed by the cleaner. With just about every other two-step cleaner/conditioning process, you use the cleaner first, *then* the conditioner. I'm glad I read the directions first!

2) Leatherique has evidently been in the business for close to 40 years, but their cleaner is repeatedly mispelled as "Prestine Clean", both on the bottle and the directions. Not that I care - if it works, they can call it "Sludge in a Bottle".

 

Knowing Heather, I bet it's gonna be impressive.

 

I hope so. Looking at posts on other forums, I've read horror stories of people using Leatherique where it basically turned the leather into strips of beef jerky, but so many other people rave about it, and it's used by so many museums and restoration houses that I decided to take the chance.

 

the reason they probably instruct to use the cleaner after the oiling
is because with oil, the stuff that the leather absorbed in the past gets
kinda soaked up to the surface and while you remove that 'grime' you
also remove the excess amounts of oil.

i would suggest not sitting in those seats wearing white pants or dress (,
your wife that is) for a couple of weeks though. let it air dry completely.

 

I got all that stuff, kenchan. Again, I was kidding around doing something, btw, I picked up FROM compulsive detailers, coupled with the fact that, when I first sought advice for some good cleaning stuff, but made clear I was not looking to spend hours cleaning my car, I was given some crap. So, again, if it pissed you all off, sorry. But since I got the info I needed I doubt I'll be in this or similar threads much anyway.

 

I have Leatherique purchased directly from the manufacturer, and it has worked well for me. It can do wonders at restoring dry and stiff leather. Check out their website. They are serious leather specialists.

What I've found is that if Leatherique is applied to leather straps or belts that are actually layers of leather glued together, it can make the glue fail and cause the layers to separate. I discovered this when I applied it to a dog leash that was looking worn out and I was hoping to rejuvenate. Actually it was a pretty expensive leash but the Leatherique treatment revealed how poor quality it was.

 

pissed me off? you have to try MUCH harder then that.

you're welcome to stay and try Prima Nero.

 

I didn't specifically mean you. And I already ordered Nero. I gotta wonder why they would name a product after a lunatic who ordered the burning of Rome, though.

 

Nero makes you go crazy if you drink it. Just look at Ken.

 

It didn't **** me off; the excessive amount of it is annoying. I don't go into the audio forums and start ridiculing those who want a high-end $$$$ system just because my ears can't tell the difference between $$$$ and stock. It's out of line, and no one there would want to hear it anyway.

And that's all I have to say about it

 

Have to excuse LynnEl,..his skull is a bit numb. Other than that, he is ok.

And MLW,..you have to be used to people going, "OMG!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!" I know I am. But then again,...I usually give em a lot more reasons, other than being OCD, to state that. Hmmm.. Yes,..I really do. Hehe

 

ahh, good going on the Nero. Now you need to
order the Clarity bundle and get the same level of clean windows
and winshield as us.

"Nero" means 'go to sleep!' in japanese. i say that to my
son sometimes when he's goofing around past 9pm. nothing wrong with
going to sleep.




muwa?

 

finally started on the legacy wheel repair. both wheels in the
garage, legacy has a spare on the front and the rear's on the factory
jack up in the air with no wheel... sitting on the driveway like some
trailer trash park. lol

neighbors walking by 'ken, wat happened?! ' pointing at the car.
'my wheels got stolen, did you see anything? ' blahahahaha!!!

cleaned with speedshine and paintprep. has app of spot bondo.. drying
now. will sand later and spray tomorrow.

 

... only to find i must've used up all my 400 grit sand paper. lol!
so used 220 grit. it actually was not bad, just had to go slow and gentle
and crumple up the sandpaper before going into the crevies..

will start painting in the next couple of minutes.

perfect day. a little cooler than i wanted but no wind and sunnay.

 

yaay, turned out real well. only to scrape one on my tool box as i
was rolling it out to my car. blahahahha. oh schit, got new
scratches on fresh paint. lol

never ending saga. i think someone's telling me to sell this pos (legacy) and buy
a new car.

 

noticed some slight rough spots on my freshly painted wheels so will go
over it with 2000 grit wetsand and then finish off with wheelsheild next
weekend.
