That is what I figured but I wanted to ask the expert. Have to get out my dewalt and go to town.

could you recommend a product for a leather interior needing very little cleaning, and something to protect it afterwards ?

Pick up a bottle of Leather Master Soft Cleaner and Leather Master Protection Cream. Some of the best products on the market IMO/IME. Don't be fooled by the name: the Soft Cleaner certainly gets the job done, and the Protection Cream is a water-based sacrificial barrier that'll help to reduce wear and the accumulation of dirt and grime.

I find using a small bristled brush works best for the soft cleaner - I personally use a toothbrush.

Dr. Colorchip.. what are you thoughts? should I do a full detail with 3 stage paint correction before or after the Dr.Colorchip?

Touch ups CAN help... but they'll never be truly perfect. The idea is to make the chips less noticeable. I'd recommend doing it prior to any polishing. Make sure to do a good prep - clean the car and then clean the chips with alcohol for better bonding.

got any tricks for getting the gold hue out of a 304 stainless exhaust system?

So let's say I was getting a front bumper repainted, and naturally they'd want to blend into the surrounding panels. Should I have the bumper repainted before or after paint correction? Obviously the final buff/sealant would be after the bumper's been repainted.
