I'm in the process of ordering the above product. I have a couple of questions?

1, Has anyone used it before on a porsche, more importantly a 928?
2, Where do I get a 928 interior code, I know on the 944 it is inside the boot, but where is it on the 928? I want to order the right colour for my car and you need to supply it when ordering the product.

I have a friend who has done it before on his car, see below.

As you can see, the car is not a Porsche so he can't help with the colour code. As he only likes working with supercars, he has taken the seats out of a 928 before as I found out tonight when I popped round to see him. I found this in his drive.

2 Ferraris and a 928, and I let the side down by turning up in a Vauxhall!! What an idiot.

Gliptone is made in Todmorden & I pass the place everyday.
The liquid leather is as good as you are at using it. Skilled job using it & best sprayed. If you send a sample (If you can find a bit from under the seat.) You have the best chance of a good match. I havn't gone that far with mine yet.
The cleaner is great. I've used it on my Linen leather which was heavily soiled with oil when I got it. The guy looked at it & said "you won't get that off." But it did :D Also recommend the conditioner. Like hand cream that you put on afterwards to protect & stop it cracking. :)

When the process was explained to me, I thought I might not do it. But after my friend said he would help me, as he has done a few cars, I now feel that I could take it on. You can but a kit,

that contains all the products, but like you say, it needs matched to your seat. I was told about a MERC headrest that was posted to them, just to get a match.
