I asked these ?s on autogeek and got mixed results so I thought I would come here...just need a few things



1. Leather(07 mustang)- I ran out of conditioner, so I was going to try the 1Z leather and the Four Start leather (both $17) and see which one i liked more.



Latley I was doing lexol leather cleaner/ Surf City leather condition/ 1hour later i apply OPP. I think im going to start alternating between lexol/conditioner and lexol/OPP every 2 weeks. OPP being optimum protectant plus...



2.Quick Detailer-Ive been using Aquawax for the past year and love the stuff, i use it on the car after the wash and before drying it and i use it on the wheels too! Im kinda in between on buying a gallon of Aquawax or a gallon of Optimum Car wax (seems like many like OCW). any opinions ?





3.Trim- whats good for outside trim? OCW says it works for trim but I dont know???



Microfibers- Need some towels for taking off waxes/glaze etc... was thinking Target's Vroom towels and some Cobra indigos





Appreciate any help guys, I plan on posting results of the new products i try.
 
I picked up 03 cobra seats and treated them with Leather Master VITAL. It worked fantastic on them.

I've read todays automotive leather is coated and need a water based conditioner. Leather Master products are all water based.

I use OPP for bi-weekly cleaning/conditioning and a light leather smell.
 
Ya, I've taken care of my seats pretty well and they really dont need leather masters or leatherique. I just want a decent mid level leather conditioner to keep them looking good.



What do you guys use for trim? black wow? poorboys trim restorer? black again?
 
1. Leather. Black Magic 2n1 Leather Cleaner conditioner, and/or Zymol Leather conditioner. The Zymol conditioner tends to leave leather pretty wet, and is more suitable for non-coated leathers.



2. QD: Turtle Wax Ice QD is good for minor cleanups and "brightening" a wax job etc, while Lucas Slick Mist is my go to for topping sealants for extra gloss.



3. Interior: Turtle Wax Ice Total Interior Care which is awesome for cleaning the interior and leaves a nice matte finish. You can use it on pretty much everything. For surfaces where some gloss might be more appropriate I like the Turtle Wax F21 Super Protectant, which is a very light and not excessively glossy.



4. Trim: I usually find tire dressing type products best for this, as Interior protectants tend not to be durable in enviromental conditions. Black Magic Titanium Matte Finish is good for re-darkening plastic trim, where runoff won't stain paint.
 
QD:ClearKote Quickshine. DGAW, as good as it is, is really more of a spray wax than a QD.

Interior: Meguiars Ultimate Quick Interior Detailer

Trim: Ultima PGP or VM
