C’mon, let’s...

C’mon, let’s be honest. We can moan as much as we like about how franchised dealers are greedier than Heather Mills McCartney, and indeed they are. But, at the end of the day, it’s our apathy that lets them get away with charging nearly as much per hour for their mechanics’ time as you’d pay to hire a barrister. Or charter a private jet.

Looking every inch the baby Astra with its distinctive C-pillar and tall roof-line, the supermini promises to rival Fiat"s Grande Punto in the style stakes. Its bold design is framed at the front by sporty lights and a wide grille, while those curves are mirrored by the tail-gate and a lower back bumper. Large, distinctive lamps finish off the rear.

When we tried Furniture Clinicò€™s Leather Ultra Clean in our Issue 882 test, it didnò€™t do too well. Now, itò€™s back ò€“ and has been much improved.

The solution is easily worked into the leather, and removes stains well. Once the grime is off, you can apply the companyò€™s Protection Clean, which conditions the hide.

A cloth is supplied to do this, and as the product is rubbed in, it continues to shift stubborn marks.

On our used carò€™s trim, the conditioner absorbed well; not much buffing was needed. But it left a glossy finish ò€“ weò€™d prefer a matt look ò€“ plus the aroma was synthetic.

Furniture Clinicò€™s two-part pack took longer to apply than Simoniz Leather Care Cream ò€“ our Product Honours 2008 champ (Issue 1,011) ò€“ yet still did a decent job.
