<HTML>JIm, Great post, I hope any fellow detailers who read this will pay strict attention to what you have written. This is why....about 8 months ago I received a referral from a regular customer to a friend who had a "unique" truck who needed a detailer. I went buy the fellows office to see the truck and was totally surprised when I saw the King Ranch leather all throughout the truck.....unbelievable. I had never seen anything like this in all my years of detailing. He explained to me that another detailer had been doing he and his wifes car for about 3 years and he had recently fired him because he did not know how to care for the leather in his new truck and had used a product that faded the leather in several areas. I was lucky in that I own several saddles and had 4/way leather care at home. I explained to him what I planned to use and to my surprise he went back into his office and returned outside with a smile on his face and a brochure from King Ranch and showed it to me. It of course recommended the 4/way. I got the job and still detail his truck every two weeks including the leather each time. The leather, like you say, is like butter..soooooo smooth and subtle. I am not sure I would ever pay $2500.00 for such but it is truly awesome!!!! I have since learned that he(now the president of a large company in North Carolina) was originally from Oklahoma and bought that truck solely because of the saddle leather and it reminds him daily of his childhood, saddles and horses. He is a bit of a fanatic but pays extremely well 
)))) and has led me to several other regular customers. Your post was another example of how forums such as this assist in the education of detailers who are always looking to learn. By the way...4/way can be purchased at most Western shops that carry saddles and other leather products. Thanks again Jim for a great post and hopefully no detailer who reads this will fade someone's $2500.00 investment with the incorrect product and loose a lucrative customer. Have a great day and happy detailing. Ron</HTML>
