Thanks Phil, I actually have some brand of adhesive remover at home (goo gone I think), but wasn't sure if it would harm the leather. I may give it a try.

I'll be taking delivery of a new 2LT in the next few weeks. Can I throw a "full detail" [clay, swirl mark remover, etc.] right away, or should I wait a bit?
I'm kind of a "hobby" detailer, and would rate myself as fair-to-middlin... |

do you know when the production date of the car is? I have seen some camaro's fresh off the line you want to wait a few weeks.
washing should be fine. I would hold off on polish/wax |

To be on the safe side I would wait 30 days.

Did you try using an interior brush with the other leather products? |

Detail Guru's, not sure if a Q-Tip would be bad to use on leather for any reason, so if so please let us know... Just a thought!!!

Good idea firstmate, I may try that. I didn't have time to mess with it last night, so I'll try it this weekend. I'll use a drop on the front side of the seat to make sure it doesn't discolor the leather.
Phil - no, I didn't use a brush, only a microfiber towel.

Sonax Full Effect, Adam's APC, Prima Nero and Wheel Armour in action.
Figured I would post how these all work together. These dirty Audi Q7 S-Line wheels (about 1 month of brake dust) were cleaned with Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner (no brushes where used, just a pressure washer and the wheel cleaner). The tires were cleaned up with Adam's APC. After the rims and tires where dry, we applied Prima Nero on the tires for a satin finish. Prima Wheel Armour to them for a durable finish and nice shine. Wheels were extremely caked up with brake dust ![]() ![]() Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner in action! ![]() Adam's All Purpose Cleaner does a very effective job of cleaning all the grime off the tires, readying them for dressing. ![]() Clean wheels and tires ![]() Prima Nero and Wheel Armour to finish them up. ![]() Final results look impressive! ![]() ![]() The products used above are listed below.

Which product will give the best shine to silver midnight 20 inch rims (from the RS package) the silver midnight are not easy to shine because of the color but i was hoping to find something that will make'em really shine
