Hi Paul,

is it possible to give a break down of the basic steps you covered at the ccdo, as

my memory is fading fast and havent had a chance to pratice yet, still looking for

a piece to pratice on :

esp types of paper / sponges  etc to use


regards
steve

Mark, got your mail but now have to change things on Monday so will have to cry off, but email me your number and I will sort something out for you, Wigan is only hour and quarter away.

Steve re leather cleaning steps.
First identify leather type
2. identify finish/top coat and more importantly condition.
3 I clean using a micro sponge from Soulution UK, this must be used with a soaping type of leather cleaner ( low ph and low foaming cleaners will not work and make it too aggresive)
4 I use furniture clinics ultra clean( by far best and best price cleaner on the market) if you want a less aggresive cleaner then dilute it down accordingly.
5 Finish with a protection cream again I use furniture clinics as it is around £50 or 5 litres which is half the price of its competitors ( as they produce it themselves) and is an excellent  product with a nice leather smell to boot.

It is getting to the stage where you are frightened(ok bit strong) to put a leather query on here now in fear of being attacked by LTT for doing it the wrong way or using a non ltt product that they say is inferior to ltt products.

Nick at Solution was banned for less,how long is this going to go on?

I urge everyone who feels that ltt overstep the mark and are offended by their higher than thou attitude contact Mike Boxell,Doug and Ian and complain
 

[Andy Foster]

I was at the CCDO and saw Paul's demonstration which was clear, easy to follow and allowed me as a newcomer to make decisions about whether or not to add leather cleaning and repair to my services.

Thanks to Paul, I decided to do so and am making some good money at it, (off to do a repair now) so thank you Paul.

To lose Paul from this forum is a great shame as he imparts his knowledge without the wish for gain or reward.

If the owners of this site believe that allowing a company to tout it's business on here to the detriment of the general population of the site is the right thing to do then the motivation for doing so should be questioned.

Up until now, I have firmly upheld the belief that CIU forum was exceptional at showing no bias toward or against any particular company or product, even though they themselves have products for sale.  
By allowing a company to counter any comments with argumentative retorts is undermining the ethos and usefullness of the site and it's function.

I would be interested in the views of the owners/moderators on this subject as I feel that they are conspicuous by their absence when moderating comments from LTT.

I await an open and constructive discussion.

I agree 100% with Steve and Andy to loose someone of the caliber of  Paul Moss would be to the detriment of the forum and the cleaners who rely on impartial advice.

Paul i sincerely hope you reconsider your position.

[Jason Hedges]

Judy why have you deleted your posts???

It now means the posts don't make sense!

[spindle]

i wouldnt like to see anybody leave this forum with the amount of knowledge that paul moss brings.........

i dont have any beef with any suppliers....ltt or fc

but i have noticed that leather questions/answers are hijacked to promote 1 companys products.........as previously stated "solutions" got the boot for the same thing...
where is the difference

not saying that ltt should be booted ..but maybe they can modify their answers to be constructive...not promotional...

my humble opinion

[Jason Hedges]

I hate it when people delete / change posts after theres been replys. It makes the replys look double dutch and ruins the thread.

As far as I can see Paul you have offered helpful advice (as usual) and suggested using the products YOU find work the best. Your advice has helped many many people on this forum including me. There are too many people in this world looking out for number one. You're one of a select few on here that offer genuine advice and are always at the end of your phone for a chat.

If I say I prefer pure clean to blitz John Gotts from hydramaster wouldn't come on questioning my decision, slate prochem and promote his products.

Why LTT feel the need to jump on everything you say and promote their way of doing things & products is beyond me.

As mentioned above no other supplier or training service does this.

Ignore whats gone on mate, if they feel the need to delete posts its because they've realised what they've said is wrong. No other reason!!

All the best,
Jason.

Deletion of posts does enforce Paul's argument and also means that he can continue to post with his integrity intact 

FIFTEEN - LOVE  :

[lands]

Such a shame and a waste too. Thing is, everyone knows whats happened here and it's left a stain on this forum.

[Straker Cleaning]

"and it's left a stain on this forum"

Sure LTT will let us know they have the best product to remedy this  :
