good way to take them off is via heatgun and a fishing wire (or dental floss)

after they come off you can use adhesive remover and follow up with a coat of wax

Try lexol two step or griots.. A lot of the other auto "leather" stuff has too much conditioner in it.. If it's really dirty you need a two step product where the first product applied is a cleaner (you can use saddle soap if it's really dirty) second is the conditioner to protect and restore the leather after cleaning it

I agree with iCrap though... you can do without the stripe think of it this way, it'll look more murdered out without it, which is what you're going for
True, true. To be honest, I'm not even really going for it to be all murdered out, as much as it seems I am now with the black rims lol. I just wanted some change and loved how the black dipped wheels looked so I went for it. Really weren't many other options I could go for color wise besides anthracite also.

This. The Meguiars wipes are crap compared to Lexol spray IMO. Just leaves the seats feeling all greasy. I think Lexol does a way better job of actually cleaning and conditioning. It is absorbed much better than the Meguiars wipes. It's like $14 for the Lexol cleaner and conditioner, worth it.

I've heard leatherique is really good too, just really expensive. Oh and I had the wipes.

Dish soap would strip the car of all wax that is on it and it's bad for rubber trims as it dries it out. Overall it's just not a good thing to do.

Dawn specifically says do not use for car wash...I think that says enough.

For those that have a phone holder in their car, where is it located? Looking for something that would still make it easy to use if I'm at a red light or something.

I turned my PC setup into a driving sim, sorta.

Asseto corsa + 3 monitors + racing wheel w/ feedback and shifter + ghetto handbrake + surround sound + 2 subs = so much fun.

We have been playing the past 6 hours lmao helpme

You on private, bruh.

When I was younger I wanted one of those driving simulated setups. Came with the seat and all. I think it was for the PS2, so glad I didn't get it lmao.

That looks awesome though!

I have a piece of 3m double sided tape on the flap of the "This is not an ashtray."
Pop it up, peel the protective tape down a bit and stick phone there. When it's not in use, I just put the protective film back on so it doesn't get stuck closed and push it back down.

Do you actually use it much while it's down there? Though something near the a/c vents or dashboard would be better or I have seen one that connects to the cig outlet and comes up.

Eh, it's not as bad as people say. It's nowhere as good as Steam, but Steam was awful for a long time too.

So are you guys PC Gaming Master Race Battlefield players?
