nice work...and good to know that OP works that well on its own (i am expecting my OP/OC/OHC to arrive tomorrow to try).
holy cracking leather seats!!! :eek: that is a poster-child for why people should condition leather at least a few times every year. hehehe
oh, i just noticed...looks like you didn`t dress the black trim on the vehicle...a little 303 or similar would make the white stand out a ton more too! :2thumbs:

I tried using back to black, some trim shine, didnt seem to wanna come back....and as for the leather seats, yes they were bad, I condition mine at least once a month lol

Nice job. Seems like tan or a lighter color leather cracks more easily than a dark or black leather. Just wondering if there is any validity to that observation, as I`ve only had cars with black leather interiors.

Nice work on that old Volvo, looks like you got most, if not all the swirls. :)

What did you use to extract the interior?

I`d like to know as well, those floor mats look like new.
