Re: 36hr "Mini Resto" vs. NSX: 130pics+Vids by dsms...

My plan of attack was intially to wipedown all that I could with a damp MF towel. There is no need to waster leather cleaner on surface dust and sand. I wiped away and vacuumed out all that I could before actually cleaning and conditioning the leather and plastic





With the seats out i had some extra space to fit in the racatac..



Most tighter dust fille areas need the attention of a Q-tip of detail swab



I took out whatever vents I could to better clean them, some dust and sand was way down in there



Wiping down the cloth stripping by the doors with a damp MF to lift some of the dirt from the fibers before vacuuming



Everywhere I looked there it was...





little brushes helped get out the dirt from the crevices



Before



After



I moved onto the seats next







I used some DI water to help brush off the dirt, obviously nothing too serious just a very tedious process of finding and cleaning out all the dirt I could



After



Once all the leather in the car was pre-cleaned it was time to really clean the leather itself, meaning using a dedicated leather cleaner to open up the pores followed by a nice coating of conditioner.

I used Gloss It satin leather cleaner and the satin leather polish, both products worked beautifully to clean and condition the leather. I found a nice finish left behind, no streaking either



All plastic was cleaned with Einzett Co-ckpit premium








I started with this...
