I do take it to extreme but like I said I put a lot of $$$ and time into my ride regardless of what it is so I like to take care of it..

Yeah I don't do that much Andrew but I do pay a friend of mine $80.00 to do everything you just mentioned; I get this done about twice a year. He spends about 6-7 hours doing it and I am too lazy to do that LOL
But I totally agree with you on taking care of it especially with all of the money we put into it.
EDIT: My friend I speak of details cars for a living at a Honda Dealership.
I like to think I take care of mine.... lol im not exactly letting it rust away. I spent a good hour underneath cleaning every nook & cranny; I focus on the mechanical stuff more than the paint (but dont neglect the paint). For example about twice a month all my my bushings and boots get a dose of silicone spray to keep them fresh.
You'll have to show me your routines for this I may start if I continue to offroad every few months.
Hey Andrew, I have some serious ware in my seats. Now I don't have the limited so only the trim of my seats are leather. However, the center part where you sit are bolster and have some crazy ware for only a 2 year old truck. Since you detailed for a few years do you have any idea what it may cost me to have them repaired to look new?
I also have some serious scratches on the plastic inside the XK....it drives my OCD crazy and I cannot get it out (either could the detailer...unless he slacked)
Depends on the wear, post some pics I can tell you what can be done if anything. Is it cracked, scuffed, worn off, discolored.. Some of it can be taken out with a good leather conditioner, stay away from anything that leaves a slimy feel as it usually isnt condition much, Meguiars has some decent stuff but do some research on leather conditioners, some good stuff out there..

If you are referring to the creases in the base of seat, get yourself a good conditioner and work it in those creases, it will prevent it from cracking.. Also condition seat stitching to prevent it from splitting. the wear on the dash shifter bezel there isnt anything you can do and scratched plastic as well next to replacing it..
