This link gets you to Car Care Specialties (and no, I don't have a vested financial interest). The owner has a good deal of knowledge on his products and there're quite a few downloadable articles (using Adobe Reader) for those interested. Hope it helps.

thanks for the link, it is very helpful. Darla,
which leather conditioner/cleaner brand do you suggest though? need an opinion which brand to use, i've seen a lot of older cars with leather interior and neglected(cracks all over) quite an ugly sight which i'm trying to avoid......

 

Obviously, live cows are the best conditioned seating for their suppleness, but the mooing tends to overcome the stereo (heavy bass helps, but it's not a guarantee). The leather stays supple, but it does tend to wander around the cabin more often than you'd want. Branding makes them a bit more testy than you (or they) like.
On the serious side, the folks at Car Care Specialities, seem to know their stuff. I'd suggest you give them a call and tell them your concerns. Tell them the Cranky (but not Mad) cow sent you. They seem a bit touchy about Mad Cows these days.
Hope it helps! Moo!!

 

I have used Eagle One since 1987. They make great car care products. I don't work for them just very pleased with what I have used over the years.

thanks for the info!

darla,
i'll make sure when i call car care that i was referred to them by the Cranky cow

imax,
thanks for the feedback also....

 

I don't think they'll recognize the reference, but no one wants to be associated with mad cows these days (not even cows with issues; nor necessarily mad/even cranky).

 

I like Meguair's for polishing and waxing stuff.

The best vinyl and tire treatment is aproduct made in California called 303 Protectant. No oil, no silicones so it won't degrade tires, leaves classy matte finish, and protects well.

Widely used in boating circles and at Disney World to teat sun drenched awningds and tarps.

303 is great stuff but I'm having a more difficult time to find it all the time. I was wondering if they had quit making it.
