So mrclean have you tried this with a DA? I was thinking I might get a little bit of `scubbing` action with a PC. And what kind of foam do you think would work best? Maybe a harder foam like white?
Get your shine on!
Yes I`ve used my GG6 to to this several times with success. Really all you need is the circular motion and power of the machine. It don`t matter what kind of machine it is as long as its not a GG3..those are useless for this lol. The foam I use is Car Brite Xtra Duty.
Its the most potent of any foam I`ve ever used, but really any foam would work. Maybe we need to get on ACC about carrying some good foam cleaners![]()
^^You should go into business that`s a million dollar idea![]()

Like I stated in the first post, Im not claiming anything other than it works. Im a pro detailer, not a scientist who breaks down everything that`s happening until it doesn`t make sense. Im sure there are some who will say "this sounds too aggressive and it might disturb a cloth fiber, so this is a bad idea". Those are the ones who have never cleaned a filthy seat in their life. Real world problems require real world solutions imo.
I actually only meant to quote this part: "The only down side is they will at times shed some of the wool and throw it all over the car."
I found it a little funny because I`ve had wool pads "shed some of the wool" , and it went EVERYWHERE.. I was not questioning anything else about your process - I think it looks like a pretty good idea.
IMO keeping the leather cleaned is the more important step to maintaining your leather interior; more important than "conditioning". Secondly, I concur with the recommendation of the Leatherique system, though it is not the only good one out there. I do have a preference for multi step leather cleaners and conditioners rather than the one steps, though I use both types.
As Beemerboys states above, cleaning and conditioning will not eliminate existing cracking (are you referring to an actual spit or just the appearance of a non-smooth/uneven portion of the leather?). If the latter, cleaing will make those areas less apparent.
