Yes, sold the black one to someone local. Found this one and had Bucasa (Motorkas) check it our for me in MD. He gave me the thumbs up so I bought it and shipped it here. Warranty till 2014 was the deal maker for me. I am working on a 997tt for my ultimate car. I just sold my M5 yesterday.

Yep, I pulled all the wheels, scrubbed the wheels wells, inside of the wheels and all. I need a leather conditioner. My Lexol was all dried up. What do you use that does not leave a chalkie residue?

Very clean, it is unfortunate that silver cars don't really show the work you put into it. Not like dark colored cars anyways.

What did you use to loosen up the bits in the wheel wells?

I had been using Lexol as well, but have some Leatherique coming. As soon as it hits 80F+ here I'll hammer the seats with it, stick some black plastic garbage bags over the seats, then let it bake in the sun.

Simplegreen, soap and water, a scrub brush and alot of elbow grease! Scrubbed the brakes, suspension and all. Looks new.
