Re: The Car (and jeep)
Just after using the gliptone scuffmaster kit there, i also ordered the leather conditioner and cleaner because that what it said. so i cleaned the leather was impressed by the dirt removal ability, then i wiped it off with a damp cloth after 5 minuites. Then i applied the colouring stuff into the scuffs and wow this stuff actually works, it matches my leather perfectly (you send them a sample they mix the colour to suit), but it really is very impressive stuff, and put to its test on cream leather. If you have scuffed leather i really do recommend this stuff. Then on the bits i am not recolouring you use the conditioner, it leaves the leather all fresh and smooth, smells like proper leather also.
im sure theres a picture somewhere of the drivers seat side bolster before, but here is after, it wasnt a wee tiny scuff, the side was quite scuffed, now its not visible, it will be even better once the conditioner goes on:
look:

its great. even if you look really close theres only minimal remaining scuffs, that was the fist layer, ive applied 3 and its dissappeared completley.

Re: The Car (and jeep)
it made no difference and whats the designated product.
Cream seatbelts are much easier to get dirty than black or grey ones.

Re: The Shed
Coming back to your shed, it was plonked straight onto the ground before - that's why it soaked up the damp. You'd ideally need it raising off the floor leaving a bit of ventilation underneath.

Re: The Car (and jeep)
The shed wasnt set directly on the ground it was set on a foundation of pallets. It was just a rotten old wreck.

Re: The Car (and jeep)
im going to build the new shed sometime next week, well im going to the man that makes the sheds, and using his tools to build it. B&Q have glass wool insulation cheap at the moment so ill definatley put that in, and it will be lined in 1cm thick plywood. Even the roof will have insulation. Heat will be plentiful. Also putting in a double door at the front and a single door at the side. And all a bit bigger at 10x8 as opposed the the old and fairly adequate 8x8.
