Hope this helps.
You gently slide the nozzle down, and use a thin plastic tool to nudge it up from the hole. Then just disconnect the hose.
This entire project took us about 40 hours

Tony, thanks for taking such great care with my future C2S!
Absolutely breathtaking car and detail... the only thing I could imagine owning without a GT in front of it these days... spectacular.

I wish you were in the Midwest. 😄
Ca you share some detail on the process and materials used for the seats? I have a couple of sets of sports seats in storage that I'd like to bring back to perfection.
Thanks much,
Rick

Start by using a proper leather cleaner that doesn't have to harsh of cleaners. You spray liberally directly on the seat. Use a soft hog hair bristle brush and begin working cleaner into leather. It should foam up nicely and you can wipe off with clean mf towel. Let it air dry, a minute or so, then see how flat and matte the leather is. There should be no shine.
When leather is not shiny anymore, do a final cleaning with a damp mf towel in warm water. Now you can condition. If you truly want to nourish the hide, use Leatherique Rejuvenator oil. Rub it in by hand, do it over a few days allowing the interior to get warm and leather to sweat. Then come and wipe off with Leatherique Prestine Clean. You do this every 18-24 months.
If you want to simply do a light conditioning, use an all-natural leather conditioner that doesn't have a lot of chemicals in it. I use to use zymol treat years ago.
I've since developed my own all-natural leather cleaner and conditioner we use on all our services.
Hope this helps

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I waited a long time to have Moe do this work. My original clear bra was starting to yellow, as I was told it would when I got it approx. 6 years ago. The more research I did the more I realized that there was only one person, some what local to me, that I could trust my pride and joy with. It's not easy finding a true professional that has experience in Porsche autos, paint detailing and metering, leather cleaning and conditioning, clear bra removal and installation, and engine compartment detail work. Any mistakes in any of these areas could be more costly to fix than the original cost of the work. As the prices of our cars seem to be going higher than I thought they ever would, I think it's worth the investment to keep it in as original condition as I can for as long as I can.
