Pedro -

That stuff looks incredible--pricey--but incredible. Your white seats are the perfect 'test bed'.

Let us know how things soften up in the next few days.

p.s. Boy, this place costs me too much money.

I agree Pedro your car looks perfect, especially the seats. I like the shot of the finger gently pushing in the leather. I give, you're just better than me. Out of shame I must clean andf condition my seats and follow with a prayer session to elevate my leather. Nice wiork.

Hey Midnight...you have to pray during application actually...other good "technique", for massaging the oil, is to imagine you are gently massaging tanning lotion all over the muse of your dreams at a desert Tahiti white sand beach! ;- )

PS. I'm driving the car today wearing a white t-shirt...I'll let you guys know whether or not the product left residues...

Ron

I bet there will be zero residue left.

Pedro.. The problem with me and I suspect some others here on RL is the 993 is the "muse of our dreams". I'm afraid when I'm putting massage oil on my girlfriends back I'll be imagining the leather on my seats instead.

In case she ever reads this post - Honey I'm very probably completely joking although I do love it when you wear dark blue to the beach.

Hi Troy...answering your question...not a single sign of residue...I drove the car yesterday for 60 miles...wife on the passenger's seat...both wearing white shirts...she got a white denim jeans as well...we got back home "stainfree"...go for it my friend...product is just great!

Take care...

Although I love what Leatherique does for the texture, I have not been able to lift the dirt, even with the bake in the sun process. This morning I lathered up the seats with the oil till they could absorb no more, and I am baking it all day. We'll see.

Good luck Terry...as I said...my seats were very clean before, so I can't say about the oil's ability to dig dirty from the inside...

Pedro,
The seats look spectacular! As does the entire car.

What are your thoughts with respect to the engine cleaning/detailing? As my search for the ideal 993 progresses, I'm finding maybe one clean & kept engine bay for every 10 dirty ones. I realize that an overly clean and shiny engine bay may be indicative of some last-minute seller coverup, so most likely I'll face the same task as you when I find my car.

Andreas -

I'm not Pedro. But I play him on TV. Hope you and Pedro don't mind me butting in.

However, I recently detailed my engine bay (or at least my initial major clean). I posted some details of the whole-car detail here:

https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/220096-detailing-the-new-ride.html

(There are some suggestions relating to both exterior and engines in that thread from me and others.)

I also provided more detail regarding my engine detail in the 964 forum:

Hope they help.

Hey Jeff...your advice is very welcome...by the way, I already ordered "Aerospace 303" both cleaner and protectant in order to follow your "engine cleaning" steps...

Hi Andreas...I think you are right...sometimes an oily detailed engine shows a bad car in disguise... I think the way to a clean engine bay is patience, work and "Aerospace 303" as Jeff did...

I use leatherique too, but you really don't need to use THAT much of the rejuvenator oil if you don't want to. I use half as much as they suggest, maybe even less than that with excellent results.

Cheers,
Steve R

You are right Steve...4 oz/seat is an overkill !!!

Just finished. Better results with more oil, more Prestine Clean, and more elbow grease. Wish I had used this stuff starting 7 years ago.
