Bought more Angel Wax stuff to try out.

After seeing H2Go on here and trying it for myself, I was left very impressed with the way it works and for how long it works.
Decided to try some of their other products out.
It's going to take a while as I have also bought a 35 year old car to try it out on!

This is the latest purchase. A 1987 Saab 900i that has spent the last month or so parked under a tree.
I've given the outside a wash so far, and removed leaves and gawd knows what else from door and boot shuts.
The leather has dirty shiny bits, dried out dusty bits and everything in-between so that is where I started.

Edit, internet is terrible tonight and can't seem to upload photos. Will try again over the weekend.

The leather cleaner is sprayed on, agitated with a brush and then left to fizz away until dry. Then wiped with a damp cloth.

Once the 'Heaven for Leather' had done it's thing and was wiped down, the leather was treated with Angelwax Hide Rate.
The almost sticky shine has gone, so have the darker bits. On the bits dried by U.V it seems to have become more pliable.

I keep trying to add photos but it just keeps saying the files are too large

Have you got a Flicka or Smugmug photo site that you use, It is then easy to link photos from there to the forum

I keep trying to add photos but it just keeps saying the files are too large

I email them to myself on my phone and choose the medium “size” option which reduces the file size down

The leather has come up nicely, I would quite like to go over some of it with my old go to cleaner (Autoglym) just for comparison sake. But for now I am just getting the car ready for Mot and hopefully to use a bit before the depths of winter.
Plastics where cleaned with turtle Wax interior cleaner, it works nice and smells clean, leaves no shine.
Some new fitted mats and I'm happy with the interior for now. In the future I would like to get the seam on the driver's seat re stitched.

The before photos of the next stage....


More progress when/if it stops raining.

Had a mobile fitter come out this morning to fit four Uniroyal Rain Experts
The new tyres got a coating of Angelwax ceramic tyre coating.
The wheels where cleaned last weekend, so this afternoon the stainless wheel trims got polished with Autosol and then sealed with Bilbury wheel was.
Also refitted the number plates with the correct pre 2001 font.
