Once a year you should do a full leatherique treatment. It takes a few days and it's labor intensive, but results are amazing.

Then simply clean with lumiere leather cleaner and use Sonax Leather Foam to maintain.

No need for wipes. Get Sonax dashboard cleaner and use mf towel to dust everything from leather, plastic, vinyl, to nav screen and speedo screen.

Here's a great kit that has it all:

Moe, do you have a step-by-step instruction on the leather kit?

Yes. It's in a pdf form. I just have to find it. It'll get emailed to you if you buy the kit.

Im doing mobie detailing. I have 90gallon water tank set up in my van.

Or pressure washer can pull water from that tank?

Where did you buy it from? Whomever sold it to you should have discussed this.

You will need a pump to pull the water into the kranzle.

What do you mean by shut off valve?

What are your thoughts on the nano coating products like Aquartz and OptiCoat? Do you use them on customer cars?

We're currently testing a few brands right now, not the ones you've mentioned, and will report back with overall performance. I think the concepts is the next evolution of the detailing product industry. Very exciting.

Hey Moe
Sorry for such a delayed response but was in Canada working for a few weeks.

I am still interested in a Kranzle, K1120T most likely.
Bought a cheap one from Lowes and it gave me about 8 good washes and then just dumped all the oil out!
Should have known, you get what you pay for!

Let me know if there is a special coming anytime soon!

Thanks

Hi Moe,

I have a detailing question. A cat got into our garage and went across the hood, roof and tailgate of my car. The car did have an immaculate showroom quality finish but now it has small scratches all over it wherever the cat's paws touched. Can I get back to that showroom finish?

Thanks,
Darren

Most likely, yes. Can you post some pictures.

Chances are it'll need machine polishing though. Let me know if you're interested in going down that road, then I can elaborate.

I added some pictures to this album:

The picture quality is not fantastic, but I think you can see the problem and how they stand out against the rest of the black finish.

That can easily be polished out with a machine. You can take it to a specialist body shop. Make sure they do a medium polish followed by light, finishing polish. No compounding required from what I can see.

If you want to do it yourself, and don't have a machine, but want to make an investment and do a fantastic job detailing the whole car, get one of these kits:

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Moe,

What's the best way to remove paint overspray? A week ago or so a company was doing some painting to a building near my job, now I have little specs of red paint on my silver car. I did not notice it til I washed my car and ran my hand across the paint and felt them. My thought was to clay the car and see if that would work if not guess it must be polished? Thanks

Jose
