I see you put on an OEM MKIV script badge. I ordered one of those expecting it to be black and a little closer to the scale of the MKV oem badge but was left disappointed.
So, I made my own of correct scale and more than a sticker like the OEM MKIV badge script.
I've been detailing for over 20 years and the best thing I've come across to clean leather is Meguires D101, about an 80/20 water/product ratio. I use a good leather brush, like you would use on suede shoes.
All modern manufactured car leather has a clearcoat on it. Even the really high-end...
Nice write up and great info, thanks for sharing and just in time as I piece together my power upgrades. Flex-fuel in on my list. Posi-taps don't bother me any, they've always worked fine in the past.
I replaced the stock dust monsters with Powerstop Z16's this past weekend and couldn't be happier. For street use they're fantastic and don't produce dust. I find detailing therapeutic like many others but cleaning wheels every other day is not.
