Not too bad then.
But even at that, it could drip down onto something below, that may not be obvious. Ahhh, maybe Im being a bit too safe, but as my parents used to say (and still do), better safe then sorry!
Especially with a mates Bentley!

Tackled the leather seats in the RS4 yesterday.
Hoovered and wiped all the seams clean
Gave them a misting of Meguiars APC 10/1 Cut.
Followed by a going over with lild's finest hand held steam cleaner.
Didn't notice a huge difference tbh as they are black, but the towel was manky when finished so it worked.
Only took one pic as I just forgot!
This was before the steam clean.
Handy enough process tbh and then I did the gf's seats, cream leather in her BMW, they cleaned up quite well so she was happy 0 -
Gwan outta that...just showing off that you have the RS4!!
:P
Always good to clean the leather regularly, even if it doesnt look dirty; often over looked with a dark interior! Knowing its clean is as good, even if you dont see dramatic results! 0 -
It's not many that would spend time on the likes of this fella, but I did this weekend.
First time in over 6 years anything other than a wash was done to the paintwork. Surprisingly there wasn't a major amount of tar (started getting lazy near the end and may have missed a few spots :rolleyes: )There was a few spots of rust and the water created a rusty water line down on the paint, but I got them out. Nowhere near any standards here, or what I'd accept on my cars, but for what it is, it came out like a gem, if I say so myself.
One of said water/rust runs.
And the finished article
Didn't bother with any tyre dressing, as there was no point!0 -

I carried out a protection detail on this super tidy Seat Leon FR in Cork city yesterday.
- The paint got a soft hand wash with a lambs wool wash mitt and Autosmart duet duo.
- The wheels were deep cleaned inside and out with an EZ detailing brush, valet pro 1" brush and Autosmart smart wheels.
- Any tar spots were safely dissolved and wiped off with Dodo Juice tar & glue remover.
- I washed, cleaned and polished the exhaust tips.
- The paint was decontaminated with a Liquid Elements clay towel.
- Then rinsed and dried with a Deluxe plush microfiber drying towel.
- To protect and enhance the clean paint I applied Collinite No. 845 insulator wax.

The inside of that car is always spotless so probably not much to do for James 0 -

The car had 4/5 layers of different waxes so i thought to try striping them off and start again. This is what I did,
Washed using APC, rinsed, washed again using APC, rinsed, Washed using CG shampoo, rinsed, washed using CG shampoo, rinsed, a cost of Fusso for durability and couple of hours later another coat of Authentic for shine.
Wheels - washed with APC, then BH sprayed and left on for 5 minutes, rinsed. front wheels were treated twice as there was so much brake dust on em, there are still traces of dust on the front wheels. Need to buy CG wheel guards for protection but for the time being I applied the Fusso on the wheels too.
Special thanks to Curran and Vecta for their valuable advise, please carry on advising
