Wow guys thanks for all the positive feedback, if I had posted this on a uk forum I would get told “what’s the point? it’s an old car” or “you missed a bit”

So thanks again,

Sorry for the time delay in the response, we do live round the other side of the planet from each other

Well first I tried gold class leather cleaner, and got no joy so stepped it up to Gliptone leather cleaner…….nothing, so a last ditch attempt I tried APC 4:1 on a pad……we have lift off, but not enough so I tried it with a brush to work it into the grain, even better results, but I found if I used a smaller brush and used very little pressure (as you can see in the pic of me using the toothbrush) the results where awesome.

You get tempted to press hard with the brush, but the fibres of the brush bend and they skip over the surface, so little pressure working in circles gives better results as the tip of each fibre gets into the grain

Caution! APC is not best on Leather and even worse if you use it neat like I had to on the drivers seat, as it dulls the leather to a matt finish, Gold class rich leather cleaner conditioner came to the rescue. On the first app the leather sucked it up like a sponge so two more coats where then added, then they where buffed to a high gloss with lots of micro fibres

Sounds strange but I think the chemicals in the APC tightened the leather, which has made them look loads better.

Dave

Edit, thought I would put up some pics of recent work (we all like shiny cars don't we)

Re: 20 year old Audi Quattro SWB (UK)

Great comparison shots! I thought the seats were brownish in color, but *wow* results from the test spot(s) were awesome.

Indeed good work mate.
