Detailing & Interior care products
 
Hello fellas, just wondering which product you guys like to use on the X..especially the leather care....:thumbup:

I have 2005. Leather is still in good shape....except sadly the edges of the driver seat and the armrest is fading..

What do you guys use on the door panel around the wooden trim?

I usually prefer the natural matte finish, not such a fan of the deep high gloss finish.

Lexol Premium 3-in-1 Leather Care Spray, Lexol leather care, leather cleaner protectant

Eco Touch Leather Care, Eco Touch Leather Cleaner Conditioner

which other products do you guys use....

I just used this :
Meguiars Ultimate Black, trim restorer, trim protectant, plastic restorer

works amazing on the front grills and hood vents roof rails as if they were new...for the side skirt and running board, it looks great at beginning but doesn't last long..Work a lot better on the grills/vents. Let me know if you like pics.

Just took delivery of this the other week: https://www.detailersdomain.com/mobi...e.asp#page-103

Was hoping to test it out in the next day or 2 on the X so I'll let ya know. I can say that the scents are quite muted (which I like....nothing worse than those overpowering smells you get from the average cleaners). The hardware (brush, pads & MF towels look pretty good as well.

I use 3 products on my interior.

1Z cockpit on all interior surfaces as an interior protectant and quick detailer.

1Z deep plastic cleaner for carpets, deep cleaning dirty dash panels, and deep cleaning seats before applying conditioner.

And 1Z Einszett Lederpledge on my leather as a condiioner.

No shine and no gloss just a nice factory matte finish with a clean scent on all products.

All purchased from Phil @ Detailers Domain, our sponsor.

This is after a recent cleaning and yes the cockpit spray is good on wood and all interior surfaces, hell I cleaned my leather motorcycle jacket with it recently.

I like the gray you have in there. Is it factory or how did you get it done?

It's oem Titan silver interior trim I swapped my wood out

Better late than never....

Finally got around to using the Masters leather kit I previously mentioned from DD. Nothing short of amazing stuff. Super easy to use, and the cleaner is extremely effective at pulling out the dirt. Took this pic just after I had just tried some of the "Strong cleaner" on half the seat bottom.....Essentially wiped it on with the foam applicator, and off with a MF towel. This was the result:

The stuff requires minimal agitation to pull dirt out (great for us lazy people), and doesn't leave any obtrusive smells. The ONLY complaint I have, is that in the case of the Range Rover (which, just about everything inside is leather) I cant see this kit lasting more than a year before refills are needed.

I use Lexol leather cleaner and Surf City Garage leather conditioner. I dilute Meguiars APC+ to 10:1 and use that for scuffs on the kick panels. Otherwise, I'll use a damp rag or a steam cleaner (rarely as I'm too lazy to bring it out) to wipe down the rest of the interior.

jc1surf 05-23-2014 02:28 PM

wow Ricky, your interior looks amazing.v:thumbup:

I gotta look into IZ cockpit. The price seems quite fair, and from your result, man it looks nice.

:( the other day, i applied some interior shampoo on seat and the rag was so dirty so this wknd, i need some serious TLC time for the cockpit.

thanks
