[A4] A4 Digest, Vol 30, Issue 14

Sat Apr 15 12:26:57 EDT 2006

My 11 year-old, sitting-in-the-hot-California-sun A6
with black leather and vinyl everywhere still looks
and feels fantastic inside. Lexol Leather Cleaner,
Lexol Leather Conditioner and Lexol Vinylex. And I
don't apply it very often. I started with it because
the Audi Club (then Quattro Club) detailing guru
magazine contributor recommended it, and his
recommendation has been spot on. Great stuff.
