The sliders look SOOOO much better than OEM running boards IMHO.
Leather looks great as well for a '94. I've always cleaned and conditioned with Lexol, but my leather doesn't look anywhere as good as your pics indicate. Nice job.

Thanks -- the sliders certainly look better than the junk that came on my '91 -- that stuff is best left for gutters and siding --
[glow=black,2,2]Thanks for the tip Eric ! Took a look at the site .. easy ! Maybe now I'll forgive you for wearing such light-coloured pants this early in the year
We've been telling you for a while that pups will only get you puppy-dog eyes .... what you need to be doing are 'Beach Tours' ... The vantage from those benches will be nothing less than ... occipital , lets say
The pant's colour comment was a seasonal reference .... in no way was I looking closely at the fabrics denier [/glow]
Love the looks of the slider. Clean and sleek.
Also, good job on the leather.
I have treated my leather also with Leatherique and it is amazing. You really need to soak the cr__p out with the prestine cleaner under hot sun(Cover with plastic so the temp don't escape) for good 4-6hrs. Apply Rejuvenator oil and let it sit for 1-2 hrs and wipe off with rag and luke warm water.(making sure rag is clean everytime you wipe). Leather becomes soft, cracks and age line disappears pretty good and smells like leather(Not like coffee and OJ mixed ).
I have treated my other cars (BMW, Benz) and result is amazing.

Actually, you got the process reversed ... you are supposed to apply the rejuvenator oil and let it sit in hot sun, or overnight, and then wipe off the remaining residue with the pristine clean. I actually posted a message about leatherique when i first got forum'ed and several people stated the whole "ohh, we wouldnt want the leather on your baby soft a** to be rough now would we?" so I shut up about it but I am happy to see that someone else uses this and swears by this. The leather in my 65 Mercedes Coupe is in as good shape, or better shape than the leather on my 97 Cruiser thanks to leatherique. I have used it exclusively for over fifteen years now (makes me sound older than I am but it is the truth!) hth
Ok, so now that we've hijacked the slider thread and are talking about Leatherique, how much to order? Is a 16oz bottle of each enough for a thorough job on a cruiser or am I going to need 32oz?
