    No probs... most posts to come.

    just remember: if the pics dont work.. check back in an hour... since there are hourly file transfer limits that are sometimes over-passed: thus allowing the pics to not load.

    Sorry. Imageshack doesn't seem to work for me.. so I use Geocities as my file host.

    Call up this "Production Detail supply" company, if you can (some how) find the number, if you can't, Call up Advantage Ford, as to speak with "Cheyrl" (my old boss from ways back) and ask for the number. If anybody can post the number here when someone finds it, that would really help out Cheryl, since all this bothering will drive her nuts, for sure.

    I think the distributors name is "Ron"(I think thats his name) He'll personally deliever it to you. Actually it was him that showed me this technique. Ron is the most unbelieveable detailer you'll ever see. Any questions, ASK HIM. He knows EVERYTHING, its incredible (I'm not joking)

    Just so you know, its only sold in a 3.8 liter quanitity, which is $45.00

    But thats good for 30 applications, so it'll last you FOREVER if you dont do this on anybody elses car. Otherwise you can sell half the jug to some other member or whatever.

    Also, when talking to "Rob" or "Ron" ask for this "Le Serra"
    Its the most amazing wax I've *ever* used. It'll give you a showroom shine with only one 15min application. Its $25 for a one liter bottle.

    You would be red and sore if you produced enough "lotion" to do your seats.

    You can buy 8 oz bottles of leather "renewal lotion" at Danier. Works great for jackets, so presumably it would work for seats.

    I found the phone number for "Production Detail supply" this is the main Alberta warehouse. To get the products delievered to your door: will probably be at the discretion of the dispatcher, but the main number is 1-780-458-5373

    ^ yes. But scrub it really hard, since the pores are probably stuffed. It wont crack anyway, I've never seen a steering wheel crack for some stupid reason, so its your call.
