Before you all think I'm weird, I'm referring to Leather Stuff.
As there were a couple of hours where it'd stopped raining, I decided to attack the interior of my 2010 Audi. I was itching to try out my LS and NL too.
The seats in my Audi are in nearly new condition, with a just a few small creases in the leather of the drivers seat where you climb in and out. They're still matte finish as they were when new, but I thought prevention is better than cure so I decided to give them a go over with the LS.
As they're half leather, I put some wide masking tape on the fabric parts and applied a small amount of LS to a cotton cloth and rubbed it into the leather.
I did the side sections of the bottom part and then used another cotton cloth to buff it off. No matter how hard I buffed, it left it a lot shinier than before.
I wouldn't say it's gloss finish, but it's certainly not matte either. It made the seats look a lot older than they were.
While I was thinking of a solution I thought I'd give the centre cloth section a wipe over with a damp cloth. As I didn't tape off the leather I got the leather damp in one spot too. I buffed it off with a MF towel and to my relief the area that had water on it dried matte again.
I then wiped the rest of the leather over with a slightly damp cloth and immediately buffed them dry with a MF.
What I'm wondering is, did I apply it wrong?
The cotton cloths I had weren't Terry towels, but were my least favourite 100% cotton t-shirts. I've got loads of good MF's, but no cotton cloths so I turned to my wardrobe.
The result after I'd wiped the leather with a damp cloth was fine as it was matte again. Have I settled the product like you can with wax, or have I just removed all of it?
On a positive note - Natural Look is incredible stuff on plastic trim!
It's so user friendly and you can get whatever finish you want. Some of the trim is a matte rubberised finish and this is the only product that cleans it and leaves it like new, without leaving a coating on it that makes it look smeary.
