But,as I understand it,I cannot dismantle,only the triangular,leather part;I have to dismantle the whole insert,wich includes the plastic amrmrest,and all the center piece;am I right?
How much would it be to tint,only the perforated leather insert?(not the whole armrest)
I understand,I will have to pay,for shipping,and insurance,both ways,and thats O.K.with me.
Also,please,give me the address,where I will have to send those items.
I will do this,once I put my car in storage for the winter,wich is November the first (11-01-05)
Thanks,
Emil.

Boyguan, you need to get a quart of cleaner and a 6 or 8 oz. of the CCP or the Conditioner and Protector, either will work in conjunction with the cleaner, but my personal preference is the CCP.
Ozziegt, you do not want to use those products on the suede inserts, you actually want to take a white scotch brite pad to it and re-abrade the surface to clean off any surface soiling and make the nap come up again because it may have gotten matted down ever time. We only sell big boxes of this stuff, but you can get it at a local hardware store, make sure you buy the white though. PM me before you do it and I will run you through the process.

Yes, I am very familiar, one of my best friends has had one for about 3 years now and I almost got one about 2 years ago myself.
The inserts may not be suede since the nap is short, then that would make them nubuck. They would be cleaned the same way as I stated above. PM me for more specific info on how to do the cleaning.

Hey Sean, great answers to great questions. I noticed you were working on a discount on the kit a couple years back. I was wondering if there was any change and there was possibly a discount now? Thanks.

I apologize, but due to circumstances beyond my control we have not been able to put together a formal discount on the board. Maybe sometime soon...

Quick Question: I also have an 04 Lexus RX330 and and 06 Passat. Can you confirm that these are both finished leather. I am pretty sure they both are but the Lexus Leather definately has a different feel to it. The Passat Leather is called Vienna Leather.
Regardless, Just looking for confirmation before I order products ... want to make sure I get the right ones and the right quantity. Currntly planning on ordering a quart of cleaner and a quart of CCP

Sean, I just now found this thread and I have to say, you are the consummate professional. We should all aspire to be as polite, knowledgeable, and helpful as you. Cheers to you man!
