It's only been on there a couple of days but so far, so good. I was really impressed with how it turned that plastic part under the windshield wipers from grey back to black. Seems to do better with plastic stuff than the leather on the seats though.

I don't use anything on the interior plastic. I clean it with Optimum No Rinse in a spray bottle. For the seats I use some Meguiar's leather stuff but it's kinda pointless since they're coated with some kind of plastic.

I had one of my stock Track Pack/Brembo 19x9's in the trunk as a spare for a while, jack under it, air pump there too.
It had a stock-size (255/40/19) tire on it, and while it didn't fit perfectly, it fit.
The trunk floor/cover piece didn't sit flush, but it also didn't look terrible, and I had a spare.
Sold it recently, hoping to do a smaller 18x8 / 235/50/18 set-up at some point.

I bought a cheap 17" stocker with tire off Ebay. It doesn't sit flush but it's not as noticeable as the sag in the trunk floor was when I didn't have a spare. It's better than nothing, IMHO.

I need to get a spare and a jack. Cheaper than a $300 flatbed ride, LOL.

Wise man. I'm still baffled by the number of people trying to treat pigmented (as in very far from aniline) leather with leather cleaner.

The number of cars out there today with actual aniline leather is so small.

Pledge works great for cleaning and dusting car interiors. And it repels dust so it stays cleaner longer.

That's me right there, I use Lexol? Leather cleaner thinking it's the right way lol. Then after I lather it with leather conditioning lotion.

What do I use instead then?

Lexol seems to do something for me. Very little of the seats are leather - I'd rather have had good cloth. Maybe when katzkin kits go on sale on ebay I should find something.

Also, Mr. Clean magic eraser. Once every couple years I turn the seats from gross slimy shiny finish back to matte. Then my jeans immediately ruin them again.

Use what you have (if you have Lexol). It'll clean any dirt off of the seat but it's not going to condition the leather since there's a coating on it. If you like them to be shiny, use some kind of proctectant. I don't like shiny and slippery so I don't use anything like armor all etc. on the interior of my car. I have the Meguiar's leather cleaner (bought before I learned about the coating) so I use it on the seats to clean off any dirt every few months. When it's gone I'll use ONR in a spray bottle.

Got the alignment fixed. Top strut bolt on passenger side was loose allowing the front passenger tire to change camber during turns.

Swapping back to my stock airbox tomorrow as I can't get a handle on my IAT issue.

Washed my car for the first time since November. Between the frigid temps and snow/ice/freezing rain I saw no point in it.
