- Gliptone Liquid Leather
Damn this stuff is good. Quite simple to do following JiaB's instructions ... wasn't brave enough for the chinese towel technique though. Was quite amazed to see just how much dirt the cleaner pulled off the front seats considering I'd only applied the megs leather cleaner 3 or 4 weeks ago. A healthy application of leather conditioner left for 7 hours with the car in the sun to keep the warmth in the interior. End result was fantastic ... it's really breathed a new fresh suppleness into the leather plus it has a matt finish which I really like. Still haven't got that new leather smell yet ... still smells a bit TCP like from the cleaner but I reckon this will disappear with a few more applications of the conditioner.
All I can say is my megs stuff which I've been using on this and my previous car over a 3 year period won't be getting a look in!!! If you care for your leather look no further this is the product for you.
- Swissol Saphir
I know £69 for a pot of wax seems a lot but all I can say is that it's worth it ... I was originally going to buy the Best of Show but £119 seemed that little bit too steep for a product I've not seen or used before. All I can say is this product is a delight to use ... applies easily and really thinly and leaves a truly fantastic finish. I did 2 coats with a 3 hour gap inbetween and it's provided a real nice deep finish. It smells unbelievable as well ... I swear I was starting the froth at the mouth and could quite easily have taken a quick lick halfway through (honestly) ... in the end I had to go to the corner shop for an ice lolly just to quench that need for fruity taste - seemed a poor second best!!! It also leaves your hands nice a soft ... sounds a bit camp I know
Anyway I'd recommend both without a seconds hesitation ... will be interesting to see the end results of JiaB's efforts compared to mine when his back in the NE. In the meantime I might have to lock the Saphir away with the wifes chocolates!!!
Will try to get a piccy sometime soon.
