What's up guys! Welcome back to Detail Garage!
Today I've got this spy car...
...it's a little loud in my opinion, but it still needs to be detailed.
To start off, I'm going to clean the interior using Leather Cleaner.
The steering wheel has grease and filth all over it, so I'll spray it onto the surface,
a little bit on my brush to help agitate,
and work it in to help it foam to get off any filth and debris.
As I'm cleaning, I'm seeing a lot of the grease come off, and it's changing the texture of the wheel.
It shouldn't be shiny like this, leather doesn't naturally come out shiny.
As I'm cleaning, it's pulling off all that grease and hand oils that comes from when you're driving.
Now that it's fairly clean, I'll take my Tan Workhorse Towel and wipe off any excess.
The steering wheel already looks better and feels more natural.
I'll go ahead and move on to the seat now.
Same order of operations, I'll spray the cleaner on the surface...
...and foam it up using my brush as well.
I'll work it into these intricate tuck and roll valleys of the seat.
In the same way as when I was cleaning the steering wheel,
this is pulling off all the body oils, lotion, and whatever may have been sitting on the
seat, giving it that natural look and feel again.
As I'm going across it, there's some s**t that's been sitting on the seat like oil or contaminant.
I'll take my clean towel here and wipe off any excess...
Moving right along, I'm gonna clean this arm rest.
As you drive, you're gonna lean and get your whole profile going,
then the body oils come off and clog up the leather, which dulls up the finish.
To start off, I'm gonna check and make sure there's nothing in here like a whole bunch of switches!
You've got your "Stingers," you've got your "Sidewinders," I don't know what those do!
You've got "Oil Slick," that probably explains that steering wheel...
...I'm just gonna close this because I don't know what those do.
Ford.. Jaguar!
To start off I'll just spray some Leather Cleaner on this.
Same this, spray the surface and the brush.
Agitate it to foam to help it clean,
getting rid of any of those body oils or grease.
Oil slick, McDonald's, what have you.
Moving right along, I'm gonna clean this convertible top cover.
Back in the day, Ford...I mean Jaguar, didn't make convertible top hideaways.
This just covers up all the mechanisms of the top.
But, like any other leather piece, it does need to be cleaned and conditioned.
And you guessed it! It's cleaned in the exact same way as the interior.
To start off, I'm just gonna grab my Leather Cleaner,
spray it on the surface...
...and then use my brush to help agitate and clean it with the foam.
Being that this cover is the top, it probably sees a lot more elements outside;
things fall on it, it'll be parked somewhere and dust lands on it,
so it'll get dirtier than the interior would.
As I'm cleaning, I'm helping to rejuvenate the leather by getting the surface contaminants off of it.
Now that I've cleaned it, I'm going to use Conditioner to treat this leather.
I'll just do half to show what treated leather looks like, then I'll finish the rest of the vehicle.
I'll simply add a few lines to my applicator, spread it out over the area I was just working on...
...and there ya have it!
This is treated leather. It'll help protect against UV rays, fading, discoloring, and cracking over time.
Kind of like your skin, your skin needs natural oils and vitamins, which your leather can't
get on its own, so you're the one who has to treat it.
This helps preserve the life of the leather and give it a better look overall.
Now that I've coated this area, I'll let that sit.
If it's too shiny, you can wipe it off.
I personally like that glossy black finish.
As that cures, I'll finish off the rest of the vehicle.
There ya have it!
The interior is all clean on this For...Jaguar! Spy car.
It's important to clean and condition your leather if you want to keep the car looking the best that it can.
