Aren't all the One:1s sold? The Dubai force bought one?
Also: This GIF seems like a cool way to explain the basics of an engine.

^ That looks pretty sweet.
What would you guys do with a barn/garage find? I think I'd clean it up/restore it as much as I could without replacing more than I absolutely need to.

I actually used it for the first time a couple of months ago. Driving around with the top down on a car with a light colored leather interior results in some gross build up from crap in the air (e.g. dirt, vehicle exhaust, etc.). Plus, the normal use of the driver's seat on a 2009 car left that seat, in particular, looking rather dirty. I'd trying using the Lexol cleaner, followed by the conditioner, a number of times but it didn't really make much of a difference. Finally gave in and spent the money on Leatherique and was very happy with the results. I highly recommend the stuff.

I've used Lexol for years and I agree towels aren't the way to really get good and clean. I've used some old toothbrushes with both the Lexol and the Leatherique and I was happier with the Leatherique's results. Just my experience.

If you want to keep it, that is fine. To sell it I wouldn't do anything but try to out air in the tires and get it to turn over.
