[kaju]

the leather seats and center console are begining to show signs of wear. what have other people done for the seats and what about the console I know that is a seperate issue. Im bad about driving with my hand on the gear shift and my forearm resting on the console. so now it looks bad. what have other prople done for that?

Try Leatherique for your seats, "Rejuvinator oil" first, then follow with Pristine Clean. Check out their website. As far as discolored armrest is concerned, use a pure cleansing agent, alcohol (to remove any oils) then find some "Marhyde" paint and re-finish it. Be sure to mask around it well with newspaper and body shop grade masking tape as not to get any overspray on anything.

Sherrill something tells me you took that Seminar at Star Tech too!

Boy was it amazing to see what could be done to bring leather back, clean it, restore it and more.

That Leather Seminar and the Zymoil Seminar were worth the price of admission right there!

Of course getting to hang out with you Triangle Section members was a lot of fun as well!

William,
Glad you had fun, we all did! It was so exciting to see this thing that we had schemed on come to life and it was nice to meet some of you guys that I see here on the forum.
I first met the Leatherique folks at the Porsche club Oktoberfest last fall and it made a believer out of me. I treated my car / truck seats with it. Good stuff, restocked.
Yes, indeed I enjoyed the Zymol clinic! I sat there for nearly 2 hours, right in front of him, took notes and watched and of course bought cleaner, wax, wipes, etc... I can't wait to use it. My Suburban is due for it's first wax job, so I'm in for a workout! I can't wait to see the results. Wax on the Benz is good for a little bit longer as I had just waxed it for the funcours. Did you stock up?
Regards,

Hey guys I feel left out. Is there anything I can get my hands on to read up on so I wont feel left out. I would love to learn more about what you guys are talking about. Im ready to wax my Benz and do the leather. Ive been holding off so I could read up and learn just what Im doing and do it right.

I believe they had links to the Zymol and Leathereque folks there, if not at least contact info.

You should be able to get to it from the main MBCA.org site
