Can I apply liquid leather in this cold weather??

[997addict]

Hi guys, you can tell i am new to this forum as keep posting up loads of messages.

Just ordered some liquid leather after reading all the recommendations on this site. Also the advice was to make sure the leather is kept warm when treating it. Problem is I have to park on the street in London, got no garage. I can turn the car heaters on to warm up the car when applying the cleaner and conditioner. But one bit of advice says the car needs to be kept warm overnight or 6 hours when you leave the conditioner on. Obviously I can't do this over night. Could try leaving my car running but not sure my insurance company would be too happy.

Any ideas or shall I just do best I can?

My guess is that the solvents or whatever won't boil off as well, so it might stay quite sticky. Try a small area like the back of a headrest and see if it absorbs or buffs off.

Lovely stuff, the smell, as they say, is like a nicely matured RR

Can you run an extension cable from a friends house with a hair dryer connected to the end to warm up the leather before applying the product....then spend 20-30 minutes on a cooler setting letting the product settle?

Can run lead from my house just ten yards from my front window. What u mean needs warming for 20 mind all over all seats? Or warm as I go along? Wat about leaving conditioner on over night?

Just warm the cleaner bottle in a bucket of hot water (makes it thinner and easier to use) and the conditioners fine cold in my experience.
