Came so well I did the seats and steering wheel in the citroen. Smells nice too which is nice as the citroen usually smells of damp dog. When I think of all the money I've spent on leather cleaners over the years I'm slightly miffed that a 55p bar of soap does a much better job. I've also tried the Pears soap after reading about it on the forum. It's lovely when an inexpensive treatment turns out to be the most efficatious. I did follow the soap treatment with colourfast on the seats and that worked well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thread (can't remember which) suggested washing the steering wheel and seats with Pears soap. Several other folk had followed suit and agreed it was good. It stops the steering wheel being shiny and smells nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 If you have a shiny steering wheel it's worth doing. Makes it nice and matt and grippy-feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just been out for a mental health reset, !! Out into Cheshire, and then Peak District and Staffs Moorlands. Found some Snow up over the Cat and Fiddle, taking it steady, come around a bend and the feet went from under her, did a nice Ballerina Pirouette, with Armco approaching quite quickly, had visions!! but recovered it, went even steadier after that 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only issue is the interior is navy including the airbag but one of those pictures does mention leather colour, might message them.

penrhos Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 After a suspension refresh (by Indie not me!) car needed 4 wheel alignment so got that done today. Great excuse to use the sunny weather to check everything was ok - cold dry sunny days take some beating😀. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
