Pictures Before:









The OC/OPS combo got out all the scuffs (were a ton) and awkward scratches that were on the "top" of the paint. Also got rid of about 50% of the swirls, and of course cleaned the paint very well and left a great slick finish. The owner was very happy and this package was perfect since the car is going up for sale.

Nope, just cleaned them very well. The leather was 20 years old and it showed. These weren't just cracks, they were splits in the leather. Because of the condition of the leather, this is why I decided to just use 303 on them after deep cleaning.
