C5 OEM 0 Posted October 26, 2011 what are the waffle pads like, what make? am thinking of getting one. Do you use anything else after power gloss? as its quite a heavy cut if i'm thinking right its a 3m waffle pad and is very soft for finishing,the power gloss left no marks or swirling so just an application of jetseal..

OSV 0 Posted December 17, 2011 All coloured leather is dyed though, grey seats aren't trimmed in elephant hide despite appearances. With the right prep and care they'll come up perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted December 18, 2011 LOL very good! To keep things on topic, you will also find a lot of factory interior plastics are painted too. When you look at the back they are black and not the colour you see... Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted December 22, 2011 Always a relief! Any advisories? What were the CO2 readings like? I (and the tester!) was amazed at how amazingly clean mine was running- was a pleasant surprise. YOu just don't expect cars of this sort of age to be so clean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
