However, having been silly enough to put my name to show the car at the Kent region club night tommorow, I set about cleaning the car and have found that the cleaning stuff I have used isnt really that good.

I use Zaino 'Leather in a Bottle' which is fantastic, but not an off-the-shelf product.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

You might want to try some saddle soap to get the shine off, and then use a good leather conditioner.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Porsche Club GB: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This may be an odd question, but I hope someone may be able to help me. I use my 996 C4S daily and think it is in pretty good order. However, having been silly enough to put my name to show the car at the Kent region club night tommorow, I set about cleaning the car and have found that the cleaning stuff I have used isnt really that good. I used a leather cleaner on the interior and now my drivers seat has gone shiny, rather than the orginal 'matt' finish it had before I set about cleaning it. Does anyone know what I can use to take away this shine? My car will never be a 'show car' but I dont want it to be seen with the seat looking like that!
