    Dashboard crack repair

    Evening all,

    Long time since I've posted here! I have a crack in my dashboard, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations in this area. I was checking out the 3M Leather & Vinyl Repair...
  2. Re: Leather Steering Wheel Re-Dye {2004 Infiniti M45}

    Used to be like a dark grey. I'm sure with a very small acrylic brush you could be careful around the stitching... Otherwise, I'm not sure.
  3. Re: Leather Steering Wheel Re-Dye {2004 Infiniti M45}

    Computer and bad phone camera don't do it justice = but yes, there is stitching. It blends in because I went over it with the dye and clear.
  4. Re: Leather Steering Wheel Re-Dye {2004 Infiniti M45}

    Yes. Because I used a foam brush, the surface was very rough, even after the clear coat. 1500 is very fine, and worked it to a buttery smooth finish. The entire wheel had to be done at this point.

    Evening, geeks! Been on vacation since last Wednesday, and took on a mighty project. I re-dyed the leather on my steering wheel. On my old car, I simply covered it up. This time, the worn out 12:00...

    Received an e-mail the other day about a white whine spill in their trunk. Said it soaked into the back seat, and the car now smells of alcohol.

    Re: How to clean fender wells the lazy way!

    It's funny you post this - I just did it this past weekend! My M45 sits too low, and the wheels are on too tight from the shop so I just improvised. Works just as well, and looks great, too!
  10. Thinking about Dr. Colorchip... Is it too late?

    So, come spring time I want to delve into the touch up paint world. I've read Dr. Colorchip is a superior product, so I figured I go with that. However, my front bumper has a lot of road rash which...

    Re: Can I fix My Wrinkled Leather Seat?

    Yes, I think a couple more goes would do the trick. I mostly did this so the OP could see it worked for someone on here, further implying it works.

    Re: Can I fix My Wrinkled Leather Seat?

    Fascinating video. I've wondered about this since I picked up my car In July. My drivers seat leather is stretched where you sit.

    I'm glad someone asked this!

    Re: M105 review from a rookie

    Looking good! Try some of that M105 on the headlights - they look a bit yellow and that'll spruce it up even more!

  18. Re: Fellow detailers...what is your favorite part and least favorite part of the detail?

    Favorite - The results once you've polished and applied a wax of your choice.

    Least favorite - Washing and drying the car. I hate it! Go figure

    This is not the self healing paint - thank god. The M105 is definitely picking up all the swirls in the paint. The M205 is now finishing out much nicer than before.

    After reading both of your...
