Interior detail

cjon9657 · 01-03-2018, 12:43 PM

I spent about 2 hours working on detailing the interior of my new 2017 camaro. I like to think I do a pretty good job. I always tell people there's clean, and there is Chris Jones clean. Hope everyone likes it. I like using Meguires natural shine on the plastics and I like using Griot's Garage leather conditioner.

Looks great! But clean the pedals :p

I’d also buff the leather with a clean dry MF. See some residue still. Seriously though looks great.

Looks great!

Check out Chemical Guys dressings for your dash, etc. I think they are the best. O high New Car Shine dressing is very shiny or they have dressings with less shine like Silk Shine. Great smells too.

Thank you everyone. I live in kansas and the weather has not been warm at all so I understand that the cold conditions would be a factor but I didn't realize and I'm probably a dumbass that the leather conditioner did not lay down very good on semi cold leather so when it gets warmer out I'll go back over it with a clean microfiber towel. The conditioner did not spread very good. This is my first vehicle with leather so I guess it's a lessened learned. I just know I get it in my stubborn head that I want the car to look the way I want it to because the dealerships always seem to do a quick job on cleaning.

realize that in the Camaro and virtually every other car you can’t condition the leather.... because it’s coated with plastic. You can’t really touch the leather with anything .....Read this… That’s why you might as well use an all purpose surface protector, like 3O3 or natural look.

Yep. That's why my favorite leather cleaner is Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner 20:1 in the Tornador pressure sprayer.

Most "leather protectants" I have in my arsenal are used on shoes and boots.
