    Ok great info guys.
    I have two sets of the lake country pads.
    So that should be good.

    I’ll look at the meguiars stuff.
    Don’t suppose anyone has looked at Scholl Concepts, for paint correction?

    I have used scholls s20 black and its awesome. It can correct some pretty deep swirls with a cutting pad and also finish down really smooth with a polishing pad. Its versatile and easy to use

    Looks great! I got talked into 2 cans of that FW1 cleaner at Sams club gas station today. Hopefully I can find some use for it.

    Man that looks incredible. Might have to put that stuff on the wife’s Sequoia. Not much makes that white shine like that.
    Keep us updated on the longevity. It didn’t last long at all when I tried it a few months back. (Strangely enough though, it’s still going strong on my shower doors after six months.)

    First of all...that sucks....secondly, do the 'fingernail test' on the scratches to see if they are repairable or not...they look fairly deep to me. If your fingernail catches, my sense is that you'll be able to improve them, but not entirely remove them.

    Guy in the next town has a megs bucket kit for sale on CL for $10, I may go over Friday and offer 5. The extra bucket, grit guard, and drying towel alone make it worth it. I'll probably give the other stuff away, or give the whole thing away lol. I'm pretty sure it's this...

    How are you guys caring for your leather seats? I’ve been doing some research and have read that auto leather has a coat that seals the “pores” so no dirt can make it in there. What are you using to clean then condition? This is my first leather vehicle and I want to keep the cracks at bay. Thanks

    I use Lexol. It does a good job cleaning, and keeps it soft to avoid cracks.

    Lexol E301125500 pH-balanced Leather Cleaner, 16.9 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002F9YIC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_Rd3cDbJQ0YWRP

    I also use CG Leather Quick Detailer for minor clean up and to keep it maintained in between major interior cleanings. Good to keep in the truck for quick cleaning.

    Chemical Guys SPI21616 Leather Quick Detailer, 16 fl. oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRJOUA4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_dg3cDbDQ81XGZ

    I haven’t found anything better. The CG Quick Detailer is good for quick spot cleaning though.

    Good enough for me not to switch l. I have used it for about 8 years on various vehicles and always liked it
