hope you guys have fun. see ya next year

hope it’s just a bad batch or something.

“cheap leather” is probably not leather, in other words, it is either leather or it is not. I have had success on all leather I have cleaned. Please look at my picture post below. If can’t see it, let me know. This is from the current procedures manual listed on-line.

Notice the part about cleaning smooth, finished leathers.

Please notice guys, don’t mix it with other products. Sorry Brian, but that is probably why you are biting the bullet on this one. I apply a dot of this stuff to a terry towel, or regualar towel, or even the hand mitt. I then buff it in or on the fabric. If it is a stubborn area, I use one extra dot of the clean/conditioner and elbow grease and comes out fine. When I say a dot, I mean the size of the top of the bottle. I press towel to top, turn bottle slightly over to get my dot, and then off I go. This stuff goes a long way. I wait untill I see no more “shiny” coming from the towel, hand mitt, etc, and just keep going to all of couch, chair, or whatever is done. My copy of the older procedures manual (June 2004), has this procedure written in it. It does not tell you everything I just did, but simply says to use a small amount. Here is another picture pasted here from the current procedures manual listed on-line:

Detergents or other stain removal agents should not be used. As stated below.

This helps to outline the differences between leather and vinyl, which can be tricky at times. Vinyl cleans up real nice, I have found so far anyway. Let’s look at the next one.

This helps to point out the different types of leather and what to look for. By doing this research I found out that I am not using enough. But hey, my customers have had no complaints. 😀

I am not doing this to rub anything in anyones face guys, but this is what they mean when they say to update your procedures manual or call and ask questions. I have been on-site and have no problem calling corporate if I don’t have an answer. You can make a trip to your van and call corporate. I realize it may be rude, but it’s either that or bite the bullet guys. I hope this helps at all. Let the flood gates open.

I hope you all have fun and a great time. My wife and I will not be attending this year. Hope all of you are well and God Bless. Shoot the info to the bulletin board here from all of you freshly educated HB operator/owners after the seminar educates you.

As I mentioned above. Let corporate know these things. Nobody said you didn’t have the right to be picky. 1200 or 2400 is actually pretty cheap, trust me on that. I told our SAR guy about the “patch jobs” you guys talk about and claims that he won’t patch, he will do it again. I guess I lucked out. You guys stress over too much you can’t control. Hope it all works out for you.

Tell him to call 1st place and then he will know why second is cleaning is carpet. Who’s on 1st? He he 😀

Guys,

If you have any major issues with your logos, then you need to contact corporate. Need anyone say more. No offense guys, but I hope you are telling corporate about these things. My logos have a few bubbles and a couple that turned into what appears to be cracks but does not affect overall appearence of the logos. We can’t be too picky guys. I would love to see some pics of what you all are talking about. If not knowing how to post me or Jason can help you.

God Bless

Let us know how well it turns out or is turning out for you. Great idea. I might go with a bit lower on percentage but is a wonderful idea.
