Lol, had just been waxed with leather wax. All good now as dried. But thanks for the observation lol

You used leather wax. Would it not still be shiny even after drying, as all waxes need buffing? As Jaasy mentioned matte finish looks best and the good leather cleaners, conditioners and protectants achieve the original look of the leather.
It was buffed and i can assure you its not shiny now. Just looks like new. Probably used to much product as i alway seem to use to much. I usually use swisswax leather milk, but thought id try something different for a change.

You do know Colourlock supply all of swisswax leather care products? So get your kit from them from now on, they're way cheaper

There mild leather cleaner and leather shield are all you need mate

Yet again a stunning pic Matt.............. I'm now embarrassed to post any, taken on phone in my driveway as usual lol
Breast? Don think that'll fly on here unfortunately
It is already lowered. It is like that after it has been jacked up for the tire change. Drove it to the station this morning and it is already closer to mother earth.

Was washing it at 8pm sat night then went out 6am Sunday for this pic, and the one I posted earlierI think @MattSedg uses photoshop to clean it, either that or he has far too much time on his hands
don't mock me
That was painted all in white yuk preferred the the RS1600i at least you could get that in a paint colour lolBut what about the Escort RS Turbo ?
That WAS a cool car in its day
Now you disappoint me - the Escort RS Turbo in 'ibis white' was super cool
I used to lust after them as a kid anyway lol

@MattSedg Love your photos.... nothing beats an SLR or other format camera with depth of field used to advantage, lighting conditions and composition, as shown in your last photo. I must admit I get lazy and use my camera phone a lot, as it is convenient, and then regret not taking the camera bag.
Yeah you had to have a few Bob in the bank back then to have one of them mateNow you disappoint me - the Escort RS Turbo in 'ibis white' was super cool

My fave Ford again was the saloon Sierra RS Cosworth 4x4 lol

thanks pal, yea its a good excuse to go out for an early drive I guess, still not past the feeling of looking like a idiot when people drive past whilst im taking pics!
Sapphire that was it, my dad's pal who was a head of business for a dealership had a metallic burgundy sapphire Cosworth.. .. What a beast that car was did it not have 225 bhp or close to this number?Sapphire .... I assume
& yeah they were mega cool too
Now it is closer to the ground after driving it for a while. It has the S-line suspension, and I can't make it any lower since the last 500m of my home road is gravel and in wintertime it already scrapes the bottom to the snow.
Look at the curves................... of the tyres!I think you are having a mid life crisis mate

When I was an apprentice in my first job my boss / managing director had one - was a passenger the day he got "involved" with a guy in a pimped Beemer. Think he'd forgotten I was there
Was lucky enough to have a lengthy ride....... err, sorry, run...........in both a Sierra RS 500 Cosworth (in white!!) and the Sapphire one too ("Daytona" Grey) as a passenger on the same day. Friends uncle who was a rally driver and his son owned them.

Funny how our memories stir us on cars. A cousin of mine was going out with a boyfriend in the early 60's who had an Austin Healey 3000. I was stuck in behind the two seats, top down on a ride down to Castle Douglas from Glasgow. I was an impressionable 15 years old and I never forgot that ride. The power and handling was magic. By today's standards that car would not be special as far as perfromance but back then!!!
Car looking stunning extended leather deffo helps I have standard stitching but you have more doors for more whores lol
