    Tints... Do they save leather?

    I almost never tint my cars, but my latest volvo seems to be very prone to cracking. (I leatherique every 4 months). I also like the added aspect of a little privacy but my overall question is will the tint ultimately help preserve the leather? Any input is very appreciated. :autopia:

    X Hose Pro

    Anyone Try the X hose PRO, I used the original. Great idea, HORRIBLE build quality. It was great but it only lasted about a week before turning itself into a leaker hose + the connections were horrible. The new and improved version definitely looks ALOT better.
