Let's try out OEM products for once. Got the Toyota Leather and Vinyl Conditioner today at my dealer.


P.S. to all members, post your stuff, it's not just my stuff!

What are you going to apply this to? Everything I've read says that NuLuxe does not agree well with chemical application and can cause discoloration of the surface.

Would be ironic, wouldn't it? Haven't used it yet and will update.

More accessible supplies now so there's no excuse not keeping your car pristine!

I've never heard of this before. Care to explain the application process? Have any other pictures? Did you do it to the windshield?

While not for the car directly, we improved the location where the camaro and IS stay during the summer and the NX stays during the winter (camaro will be stores elsewhere).

When we bought the house, the garage was straight disgusting. Walls had moss and screws everywhere. The paint was old and gross, and the floor was bare concrete with painted stains everywhere.

We did the best we could for the last 3 years, cleaning it up a little and making due. However, this was the best we had.

So we started cleaning it up. We started by cleaning all the walls and painting them. So we ended up with This last week. While not great, certainly an improvement. The floor was still gross.

So yesterday we began the floor. After 7 hours of etching, scrubbing, and painting we ended up with this:

Here is one side painted compared to the floor we started with:

And here is the final product:

Overall, a huge improvement from when we bought this house. Now we only have to wait 3 days to park a car on it lol
