![]() WOW!!! That is impressive.. Looks like the showroom floor model. I didn't see you list a leather restoration/cleaning system. May I recomend to you a product recomended by the Rolls Royce owner's club. It's called Leatherique. Yes, I know the name sounds like you buy it out of some guys trunk, but I have had good success with it. Even for painted leather. I'm currently trying to bring back the hardend leather seats on my 1996 965. Keep up the inspiring work.

![]() Leatherique is absolutely the best stuff money can buy. I've been saying that for years, just not on this forum.

![]() Ever had any experience with Mother's back to black? I've used it on all my trim and went over the radiator hoses with it lightly, and it seems to look nice but I don't know how well it will hold up in the long run.

![]() Good thread. Thanks for the ideas. It's also preferable to work on a clean engine too.

![]() Ever have any problems with the mid evil and totally over engineered glue they used on that goofy sound deadening just above the firewall? I get it off (in my own mid evil way) because when the car's repainted, that area is also redone so I dont care about saving the original finish.
Just wondering if you happened across anything that would dissolve the glue and foam resin without destroying the paint.....or taking 2 weeks to do so.
