Wink FINGERING your TL!! NOT what U think

A friend of mine at work told me that when applying my leather car care products, I should use my hand instead of a cloth. This way you loose less product to cloth absorbtion, and you apply maximum product to the leather. Well I tried it out today, and while it left lots of spots with excess product on it, I sure as hell used a lot less stuff! SO I reccomend this

Notice I wrote leather car care products! This is to avoid a lexol vs 303 flame war !

Interesting! So you just rubbed a little into both hands and starting (carefully) smearing it over your seats? Aside from messy hands, it sounds like it should work. What did you do when it came time to do the perforated parts of your seats? (If you have a TL-S, that is.)

After I'm done cleaning my leather with lexol my hands are puffy and itching. And this is when using a cloth!

Connolly Hide Food is applied with your fingers. But it's only used on leather that is not clearcoated.

Get some latex gloves. They will save your hands.

Yep, this is how I do it. I think I saw the tip in Motor Trend or C&D.

BTW I use Meguiar's Medallion for leather.

well I don't have a TLS, so perforated seats were not a problem. Yes, I just squirted a little bit on my palm and massaged it into the seats! It worked great, and I ended up using a lot less lexol conditioner than i normally do! I also got into a lot of hard to reach places too!
