I use this probably 3-4 times a year and mainly on the driver’s seat because the other seats don’t get used as often. I’ve used another cleaner/conditioner, not Chemical Guys but a well known brand I can’t remember right now, that requires it to stay on for a few hours before wiping off. It works well but I don’t like the wait time so it doesn’t get used much.

This was the video that convinced me to try SwissVax. The M3 used is identical color spec and leather condition to my old E90 M3 so I knew what to expect.

I’m too lazy to consider myself a diy detailer so the shop in the video is a better source than I am.

Leatherique cleaning/conditioning kit is the other product I have. It seemed to work well but takes a fair amount more effort than SwissVax, which is spray, brush, wipe and go as shown in the video.

I fitted a new filler assembly as i could no longer open the filler door. It was stuck shut. I just fitted the golden wrench cap while I was doing the work in that area

Well the good news is you know who did it. I have a similar mark on my passenger side rear wheel lip that just showed up one day. Paintless dent removal.

Jesus, that sucks. That’s a tricky PDR area. Looks like some paint damage too?
I once bought my 3.5 year old a bike at a flee market with training wheels. It’s was a beater, something got him to learn on. We had just taken delivery on a brand new Honda Accord. We went out dinner as a family that night and came home. After about 10 minutes, we were “where’s Harrison?” Went into the garage and he’s riding it around the Accord. The handle bars had no grips on the ends. Just straight pipe. He was dragging the end all around the car. Deep double scratches on both sides. Novelty wore off that car pretty quick. They are kids. Shit happens.

You’re definitely more easy going than me! I’m not sure I’d have the spirit to wash it the day after a dent.
