Straight onto a washed/detarred wheel?
Or do you use a polish before sealant?

The wheels (and tyres) were cleaned with Autosmart Smart Wheels, and sealed with Zaino Clear Seal, but as they are multi spokes on both cars I thought the pressure washer might get in to the nooks and crannies a bit easier than my mits ! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I use a Bulgarian in Sainsbury's carpark every Friday data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Washed (no de-tarring needed as just refurbed) Megs polish, then 2 coats of PoorBoys.
Can someone link me to the Gliptone stuff suitable for black leather? Thanks in advance!
Don't think they do one specifically for black leather.
It's just one product fits all.

That is a link to the cleaner.
You follow that up with the conditioner.

I got mine as a pair for less money off a 'well known auction site'.
I use it on all the leather house furniture too.
The smell...mmmmmmm....
Thanks, I'll go and have a hunt around... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Don't matter what colour your seats are..

If the leather has lost its top coating, you can do a DIY repair, which is what i did on my drivers seat bolster.
So this now has my interest too......my challenge is that there is a mine of information out there and numerous recommended brands which doesn't surprise me.
What I could do with is a prescribed 'shopping list' for a total novice of what I would need to cover the basics.....clays, hard wax, applicators ..... whatever you think. I've got a new shiny black car being delivered next weekend and now the days are getting longer, I want to keep it in showroom condition.
Thanks guys
Ha ha, black car.....showroom condition!!
Do you have a full time job? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
My missus has a jet black Golf GTI, and it looks amazing after a full wash/clay/polish/wax.....for about 5 minutes!The paint shows up every speck of dust and dirt.
Seriously though, i'd get a professional detailer to prepare and protect it, then do topup protection yourself.
