Two quick tips...

I just did two things to my sedan:

A) EagleOne leather cleaner, and EagleOne leather conditioner. Two steps, two products. Most importantly: no gloss, EXCELLENT cleaning power. My car had dirt on the leather after my encounter with a tree (If ANY kid is ever seen cutting down a stop sign where I can see him, he's dead), and it sat around with the door open waiting to get towed, etc. It then sat at the collision center, presumably outside, for 20+ days of this summer. I applied the cleaner, and it looked like new. I applied the conditioner, and it felt like new. No bad smell, no glossy shine, no greasy feel. Get it.

2) CG Quick on the hard interior surfaces. Console, door handles, even rear view mirror got the treatment. SO smooth, and I used a key in an out-of-sight spot on the arm-rest and found that it didn't even cause the smallest of scratches (ie. keychain falls on console, drop a CD, etc.)

So yeah... CG and EagleOne. Just my opinion [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Hey, don't feel bad Malx

I spent well over 500 bucks on Farscape DVDs and region-free DVD player to play them on.

We all have our expensive habits (other than our Gs).

Re: Hey, don't feel bad Malx

Exactly how are you applying CG to the interior? That stuff uses water and lots of it. Are you wetting down the interior????

Re: Hey, don't feel bad Malx

There are two ways--
1) Use a spray bottle with a fine mist, and spray it over larger parts of the console, like cupholder, etc. Once a good mist is on the surface, spray on CG. Spread GENTLY (no pressure), wait, and dry.

2) Wet a microfibre towel, gently pass it over the controls, and upper console area. Spray CG liberally onto the moist part of the towel, and make the same motions. Make sure that the CG part makes contact. You should be able to see the CG going on (looks a little oily). If you want, you can spray onto the controls with CG since it's more of a mist than any sort of forceful blast. Spread, and dry.

I also put it on the Infiniti logo on the steering wheel, gearshift, the metallic areas of the door panels, and the handles/locks. Works like a charm, feels slick as hell, and looks really good.

I use CG too, inside and out, with great results. CG goes a LOOONG way though. For inside, I wet the microfiber towel and sprayed maybe four shots onto the wet spot. This was plenty for the whole interior.

Re: Hey, don't feel bad Malx

do you do it on the dash too?

Is it too reflective?

Re: Hey, don't feel bad Malx

It's not reflective, just sort of glosses it and keeps it smooth. I personally can't stand the shine that Armorall leaves, so I'm really glad I found this out...
