    Glass and Paint were clayed

    Paint measured

    The paint was a bit dull and we needed to bring the gloss back up and the metallic flakes to pop! We were able to achieve this by using Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna PO85RD. I have found that einszett Glanz Wax brings out the metallic flake on a properly prepped car.

    Take a look at some of the 50/50 shots

    Phil, when you use the Leather Master's Strong, do you rinse with a dampened mf then do a final buff with a dry mf? Or do you just agitate it then wipe it off with a clean dry mf?

    I wipe off the excess so its dry then remove the rest with strong cleaner.

    Alright, so just so I have this straight: you wipe the seat with the strong cleaner, then wipe it dry, then go over it with the strong cleaner again? Sorry if it's a stupid question, I've been using it for a couple of years already, I just wanted to know what method the pro's use with it

    Strong Cleaner - we put some on the seat then use a brush to foam it up, then wipe off the excess.
