[s-cars] Colorplus testimonial...

[Rfeagleye at aol.com]

I saw Dave's post on the Colorplus product and thought I would add my recent 
experience (last week actually!) with their Surflex product.

The Surflex is a vinyl "paint" of some sort that they will color match to the 
interior of you car. The company is headquartered in PA, but lucky for me the 
mixing facility is located in Medina, OH, right down the street from my work! 


I took my car there and met with Byron, the person who mixes the product. He 
looked at my interior and compared a few trim items on the door and center 
console. My interior is Ecru, and I wanted the product to touch up the little 
nicks on the center console where the black under shows through.

Byron suggested I use the outer door handle as a color sample. He took the 
piece and mixed me some of the Surflex. I bought a "starter" kit from them, it 
was a pint of Surflex, a pint of leather conditioner, and a pint of cleaner. It 
also included two applicator pads for $112.

The Surflex product can be used on the dash vinyl or your seats. The 
instructions are to clean the area to be "painted" with the cleaner (50/50 mix on the 
cleaner with water), then let it dry thoroughly, and use the Surflex. I 
painted it on with a small paint brush.

I was SHOCKED at how well it worked. I was able to touch up all the nicks on 
the center console and dash and you CANNOT tell where I touched it up. Looks 
like a new car. The cleaner is also great, I cleaned my rear seats and they 
look better than they ever have, all the dirt in the leather creases was removed.

This product is FANTASTIC. If you have a light interior (Ecru, Platinum, 
Tan), and have nicks and scratches, this stuff is a must!

All the disclaimers apply, I don't work there, no relatives, etc...
