Look at you using self control! Coming from Mandingo the Meat Man, lol. Who is this guy? Did you go on a fucking retreat too??

Lol. I know, it's an odd, mysterious feeling when I don't let it fly off the cuff. A kin to a ruined money shot, it's not very satisfying.

I use Swissvax and its amazing. I also picked up the leather glaze since I have ivory interior. If you go through them make sure you get the kit for your color interior. They make two different ones (light and dark) interiors.

Hey mr big balls, does the swissvax leave a healthy semi gloss condition to the leather? I've used gtech and chemical guys cleaner. Both leave a dried out look.

According to Pan the Man, clean leather will be matte. Any gloss is oil from your hands or from the product.

Yea I was thinking that but in the swissvax videos they make the seats look so good with the nice moisturizing sheen.

I switched over to CQuartz Leather Ceramic coating as a protectant after I thoroughly clean the leather. I plan on doing the ceramic coating once every 12-18 months.

Does your Porsche have weird, up charge "premium leather" made of out of witches foreskin like the ev bmws? Or is it grotesquely slaughtered animal cow skin, the way our lord and savior Jesus Christ intended it to be?

NVRfollo · 11-01-2022, 05:41 PM

It's from the most unvegan source with extra torture.

Im not one of those "snowflakes" that cares about animal feelings. To me they are tasty and belong under my ass in my car. It's sad to see our favorite car brands pressured into bringing in shitty alternatives. You cant let good leather go to waste. The animal gave up its life for me to eat so we might as well use everything that came from the animal

Haha. Wtf is Mr Big Balls?! Na its a natural matte finish. Not dried out and not super shiny like some other stuff on the market. Its harder to tell though with the ivory vs a dark interior.

I have used Gtech Dash stuff and like the matte finish it provides.

At least your leather seats are clean and semi-glossy. Hope they were extra cruel to the cow before it was transformed into your seats. It makes the option better. When they say vegan leather, do they make the leather from vegans? I would buy that option

Who knows coulda been one of those California cows that were taken care REAL good. Either way I like to look at it as taking care of the cow in its after life.

Oh and on the tire dressing, I use Adams VRT and it doesn't sling. It's a poor man's CarPro Perl. Love it.

Damn pics didn't go the first time… maybe too many

Oh man, what a beauty. Really liking that Dark Graphite color.

I never really took a night shot of the 540 before. The Dark Graphite Grey does pop when the street light hits the paint. I look like a retard

and yes I took two parking spots.

I am contemplating if I should do a quick wash (rinse/foam cannon and leaf blower dry) the car tomorrow to get rid of the dust. It's supposed to rain Saturday.

What do y'all think? Wash the BMW or nah?

I'm going to be detailing dads Honda tomorrow(clay bar, remove some scratches from the door cups from rings, touch-up wherever I see a rock chip, shampoo the carpets, wipe the interior with some 303 protector, and apply some 3-in-1 meguiars wax that I've got laying around from the E90) before winter rolls around. He doesn't care about the car like I did when I had it. The thing looks like absolute sh*t.

DGM looks better in the dark for sure. Hard to get an attractive pic in the summer time lol.
