I added Gliptone to my detailing arsenal a couple of years ago and I like it. I like the leather smell quite a lot but it gives the Mrs a headache so haven’t used it in a while 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted June 15, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Today was an outside clean up again, paint is definitely suffering with some more scratches I haven't seen before 😞 need to some paint repairs and I still haven't plucked up courage to drill the holes in the boot for the spoiler, which is still waiting for a clear coat anyway !! wheels need some more attention too....fluid checks , all perfect.....tyre pressure ok except one down a couple of pounds....I hope it's not another puncture. .........next was the Elysion.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted June 20, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Fixed the light in the clock, today, genuine Honda bulb, only three years since I started the job 🙄 Remembered to insert the clock top first 🙂 Sat in the scrumptious smelling leather,,,,,need another go at it whilst its clean !!! Tomorrows job I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted June 21, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 This morning was another Gliptone event ! Just spent two hours going over every inch of leather and now I need a chiropractor.... difficult stretched into every nook and cranny but feels like an achievement. Will leave the car two days now to soak up its new coating then if I am feeling energetic give it one last go... Perhaps 3 times is over the top but it does ensure that any missed bits get caught up and the smell of "new leather" is amazing anyway.....jeez, I can feel a headache coming on 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted June 21, 2020 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I personally feel the more coats the merrier and on such old leather it can’t possibly be a bad thing. That leather smell will be nice but definitely asking for a headache. You’re giving me the bug to do the same. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to give it multiple coats too but usually leave a month or two between each to let it really soak in well, seems to last longer in between "attacks" that way! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted June 26, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Managed a clean up of the dash and associated spiders, webs, extinct flies and other detritus that has collected over the lockdown.. too hot for another gliptone attack on the leather though.....retired to the beer tent..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted June 27, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Today I managed a complete top to bottom external wash...in between the thunderstorms !! Bit disillusioned now as I found three more parking dents on the rear left panel.... the paintwork is looking tired in some areas too. I have started to correct some damage but I am undecided now if I should respray the car, totally, but then I think ; is it worth it really? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
