Hey, so I like using Meguires 40 when it comes to rubber and vynil, but what do you guys like to use to clean/condition leather?

don't laugh and don't light up....I kid you not. There was a guy at a show I attended with a freshly rebuilt 66 Mustang, I have pictures I'll have to post them. He had white interior...and he cleaned it with Lighter fluid. The type you put in a Zippo lighter. It conditions the leather and the white is WHITE. If you are a smoker I don't recommend it. But the results are fantastic and for half the price.

Actually no you couldn't. He just put a small amount on a rag and rubbed it on the leather. It shines better than Armor All and he told me to go ahead and touch it.... no slimey feel what so ever. I was shocked and amazed. He also won best in show, best 60's and best paint. I still can't believe its the same color as RED...

now that i think of it, i very vagly remember hearing that lighter fluid works as a good cleaner. thats a cool color. almost looks like a, candy red or something. those are some nice stripes, I wonder if that was why he won. that red and white stripes is a very good combonation. but i prefer a darker green with black stripes, or a black hood. thats a straight up evil look for any car.

Its the exact same color as RED. We were talking and admiring each others paint. His and mine are 96 Ford Mustang Laser RED Pearl.....awesome red it is. He said it had just been finished a couple days before. So that was his maiden show. Awesome car.

Of course I do.... he has an awesome BOSS 351 shoe horned in that beauty. Man I do get to see some beautiful cars. I really love doing shows. It's fun sitting back and watching...you get these kids that come running up and say things like, "Man, this is sick! I see this driving all around town! It's just sick, someday I'm gonna own one."

I have pictures made up to give the kids. Yesterday this soldier was standing outside a restaurant here in town. Solo's...I was dropping off payroll, Anyhow, he was talking on the phone...and he just freaked. He said dude, your not gonna believe this, the car of my dreams just pulled up. and then he preceded to tell his friend all about my truck. It was so cute. He was almost frothing at the mouth.
