I always keep my car garaged but you would think that if your dash was exposed to harsh sunlight on a daily basis you would want to protect it with a UV inhibitor? Anyway this is good to know but the rest of the leather interior should be periodically treated to keep the leather from cracking or wearing prematurely? Right?
The leather on the seats, or any other area excepet the dash, should be conditioned with a high quality leather conditioner. You want to pay more attention to the driver seat as it gets most of the traffic.

I've used Klasse AIO on both sides of the windows and had great success over normal glass cleaners.

Glass inside and outside, plus alloy wheels, plus plus plus

Glass inside and outside, plus alloy wheels, plus leather seats, plus satnav screens, plus plus plus. ABSOLUTELY NO STREAKS AT ALL.

world's first and only botanic cleaner for cars, boats, aeroplanes. only pH nuetral, non petroleum. Water based and contains 200 times more lubricants than a standard wash !!!. patented.

ABSOLUTELY NO STREAKS AT ALL.

my invention used on ferrarris porsches mercedes for many years now. write to the ones who have given testimonials and ask them.

available in a small way as it is not heavily marketed. maybe will be if the multi nationals buy me out.

see advert in excellence magazine - and yes, what it says is true.

tested and used by BMW magazine. Tested and used by GT porsche magazine.(staff)

start repairing the world and save yourself a fortune, and most importantly, your cars can look perfect with one tenth the time spent on it. (yes, one tenth, like me)

check out the cars others and i have used it on over about 7 years now, although marketing is only 19 months old. if there is more interest and distributors in USA and canada, i will start to sponsor more of the forum sites.

remember, for every car ($ amount) bought in australia, one can buy 2.5 cars in the USA.

so if aussies use this stuff on a porsche costing 2.5 times a USA car, it might be interesting to at least give it a try.

contact the USA or canadian distributor for help on www.carmagic.com.au and go to his site on the right hand side.

ps my TT coming next month and something very different is going to be done on it. (my 43rd car)
if there is interest, i can post it. i have not seen anyone do what i am doing. it is at a porsche body shop right now, and BTW, they use my style magic for car painting preparations as well.

so please check it out. i want to help my fellow car entusists save time, money and almost never have a 'dirty looking' car most of the time, relatively speaking.

i can almost gaurantee that almost all my porsche club members use my invention too.

all the best to all

How often should we use leather conditioner? Seems like the Porsche leather is painted unless you get the natural option.

every time you clean it would be the best time, but only use a pH neutral cleaner. plasticisers get stripped otherwise.

every type of hide is different, and every car seat is used for different number of times. heat and damp are both detrimental, so rule of thumb - as many times as possible to keep it supple. lightly buff excess off to stop sliding around whilst driving. You are in less control of the car whilst sliding around, even dangerous.

CG-Lock (i supply that in Australasia) helps to keep your bum down too. try it. it is an american invention.

g'day to all.

I had a chance to use the product this morning...seems like it's really good. After spraying and wiping with a microfiber towel, it seems as if all that needs to be done is to buff it a bit with a clean microfiber towel. Sounds right?

What other areas of the car does this product work well/safely on?

I should have included a little more instruction but yes that is exactly how I do it. I will quarter a microfiber and spray on and wipe with one side (damp) to clean and flip to a dry side and lightly buff to finish. You don't need to use much pressure at all. If you have a spot, spray directly on the spot and apply some added pressure in small concentric circles to remove and buff with dry side.

Its safe to use on any surface. It won't damage anything but leather does need to be conditioned so while you may use it as a spot cleaner on leather, keep in mind you will need to condition it. All other surfaces are fine. Vinyl, chrome, wood trim, plastics, soft touch paint. The only thing I have not used it on extensively is NAV screens.

+2, I detail cars on the side and Stoner invisible is hands down the best glass cleaner you can get. Sparkle is not far behind.

The steel wool will clean that glass and effectively polish it. Pretty much will get rid of almost anything off glass like sticker residue etc..I use it on the inside and outside with the Stoner glass cleaner and a 100% cotton towel. Obviously don't use on tinted or mirrors or plastic lens covers.
