Yeah, your distressing work is rally good - you could definitely go further if you wanted.

Is it just the photographs, or do the distressed areas look olive/green?

Oh please you call THAT distressing?

That looks like about 2 years of wear MAYBE! Go ahead and sink in to that thing!

Good progress though

Indiana Citroen, excellent work!!!

Indiana Citroen · Post by **Indiana Citroen** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 6:12 pm

after a bit more, I think I'll leave it or now...
here's a good tip, use a brush after applying leather dressing.....soften the leather and tones down the look
