    Foam gun dilution settings

    On the foam gun, there are settings for 1, 2, 4 oz's, etc per gallon. If I am interpreting this correctly, setting it to the 3rd hole will mix the contents of the bottle with water at a ratio of 4...

    Re: 1Z Einszett compatible leather cleaner

    The leather is finished if I am correct. It's standard Acura leather. It's nicer than Honda's but I'm sure it's still standard finished car leather.

    Re: Layer Collinite #845 over a sealant??

    To clarify, if Collinite lasts longer than most sealants, say EXP, why would you even put it on over the sealant? Is there a visual appeal that makes it worthwhile enough to disregard the durability...

    Re: Layer Collinite #845 over a sealant??

    One thing I'm not so clear on...Collinite has a reputation for lasting as long, if not longer, than most sealants. Perhaps Klasse is a strong contender to the title.
