Did have any good standard clamps handy, the old ones were no longer holding properly. These are exhaust clamps, they're not coming off. They're done up with a 10mm socket.

The seats are starting to look a bit grotty, I've actually had the what was the drive seat completely to bits as the internal metal structure broke, more on that here: https://www.marlinownersclub.com/for...but-I-fixed-it

oooo shiny:

Even got a visitor when I took it out into the sun to warm the vinyl for the second layer of conditioner:

mmm shiny:




Achieved this almost like new look with Meguires leather and vinyl cleaner. Took 4 goes at it to get the grot out of the deepest texture - very impressed with cleaner. Finished it up with Zymol vinyl conditioner. You apply on the vinyl let it sit of a bit and then buff with a cloth. Feels nice and smooth now. Also cleaned the dashboard and the door trims the same way.
