Thanks for the compliments and the tip for leather cleaner, ill post a pic once its cleaned up, any tips for black streaks on these rims? looks like its baked on, or a defect. You can't see it unless you're close up to them.

You might want to post your question on the wheels over on the Automotive Care & Detailing forum. You'll get some good input over there. There might already be a thread on the problem.

Very nice car! Congrats!
For what it's worth, I've had good luck with the lexol leather cleaner and conditioner.

Default Great Car just like mine haha!

Car looks Great and I should know cause its just like the one i have . Very sharp!! As a side note one of my coils went bad last week. 115k ..not a big deal , if you get a check engine light on, your stability control and VSC check light will come on as well . Its the computer shutting those off. Not saying its going to happen....just saying ...

Default Meguiars Leather Sealer

Product worked well, cleaner works ok with the towel included but maybe better if you use a brush, the sealer works great.

Are these the before or after pictures?

I do like the colour combo on your ES. Silver (tungsten pearl) really shows well.

To clean my leather, I do as the owner's manual recommends. I use a 6-1 Woolite solution (6 parts water to 1 part woolite). Then rinse about 2-3 times. You may need to repeat a couple of times on heavily soiled areas like the bolsters.

Are those monitors on your headrests OEM? They look pretty cool.

I was thinking of getting them for my car, but my daughter just wants to use her tablet for viewing movies now.
