What did you do to your Blackwing today?

Anyone have a link to the specific Colourlock kit they used? Sounds promising!

Have to say my experience with the CQuartz Leather 2.0 and Sky Cool Gray has been disappointing. I applied one coat all over the day I got the car. 1,100 miles later, very noticeable dye transfer from jeans on the driver's seat, and it hasn't really done much to prevent dirt marks on the door grab handles and armrests. Waste of $67 it seems.

Guess I'll have to clean these areas every month or two. Anybody have a good leather cleaner to recommend? My Meguairs stuff did okay, but always looking for better.

I thought my (untreated) Sky Cool Grey seats were immune to stains until I bought a few new pairs of jeans and noticed the dye transfer this past weekend. This morning I tried as an initial pass Meguiar's Interior Quick Detailer sprayed on a microfiber. The photo below is a 50/50 shot with the bottom part of the seat cleaned and the top part uncleaned. You can see the microfiber has picked up the blue dye off the seats. I'm satisfied with it for now.

After seeing these posts today and having the sky cool gray seats myself, I put in an order for colourlock. I'm not going to take any chances.

Even happier to have black seats now. Bonus they got the carbon backs!

No way, SCG seats absolutely transform the interior into something refreshingly not like every car in last 25 years.

Agree

Think it's heavily dependent on the exterior. On a Black Raven, like mine, I considered it a must. On brighter colors I don't think it matters as much.

I concur as mine is a black raven also with bronze wheels. When you open the door it’s such an eye catcher. Keeping it clean will be a challenge tho. I tend to cover my seats to protect from dirty dog paws!

Put the summer wheels and tires back on today, mainly because I managed to bend a wheel and it was shuddering at speed. Wheel Insurance actually covered a replacement and the dealer is going to swap it out when when the new wheel comes in. Took the time to clean and ceramic coat the calipers while I was swapping them out. My god were these filthy.

I too removed the wheels for ceramic coating; did the face, barrels, and calipers. Decided that I would upgrade to carbon ceramic brakes and coated the rotors with ceramic, too.

Decided to change the oil this weekend in preparation for upcoming track day (1,669 miles - but 9 months old). Just need to jack up from the driver's side, drain plug faces passenger side.

Remember to mark your filter so you can't ever forget!

I was going to make the joke that I coated the rotors so that rust and brake dust slides right off but figured I'd get some keyboard warriors attacking me saying it's bad to coat and not see the joke. Love that you're coordinating your oil filter colors to match the caliper colors too!!

A lot of different products there... Would this be a good option with 1,250 miles?
