I would like to use this in my classic car. Will it damage the leather, plastic or metal? Any precautions I need to take? How long should I run it?

Hi Mickster, Glad to help :). The ozone generator is generally safe for use in current and classic cars depending on the condition of the leather, plastic, etc in the car. However, if overused, ozone can be damaging to interior components of the vehicle such as rubber seals. Most ozone treatment durations are for 30min to 2 hours depending on the level of odor you are trying to remove. The treatment can be repeated if necessary, but it is best to fully air out the car before repeating treatment. Some precautions to take are to remove all trash and personal belongings and to thoroughly vacuum and wipe off all surfaces before treatment. Here is a description with pictures to give you an idea of best placement and practices for the ozone generator in cars: http://www.wikihow.com/Do-an-Ozone-Shock-Treatment-on-a-Vehicle. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can possibly help with anything else :).

At the very least you'd have to use the No 5 leather milk; I'm pretty sure that one is for automotive leather. I'd suggest contacting Chamberlain's directly. They are very responsive and might have some good advice.

I don't know exactly what type of car leather you have but we use these in two different cars: one with leatherette seats and the other with leather seats and I have not seen any damage. We have four total. We use one in each car for an infant and also one in each car for a two year old so we've had them in the cars for over two years now.

I would only use it on older cars. Apply it and then Buff it off like a wax. Then you apply the wax and buff it off.

I primarily use this on Triumph motorcycle cases and it is the best Permatex (or any) product for the job. I've also used it on rubber pipes to metal banjos and it worked well there too. I suspect that it would work well in your situation but I have not used it on plastic and there are so many kinds of plastic that I would test it first. Personally, on threads where gas or oil is involved, I use the yellow Teflon tape -- it seals gasoline so diesel should be no problem.

You are not doing anything wrong.....hhhmmmm. If this stuff is not working then I recommend you go and get these two items....carburetor cleaner OR WD-40. I had a few spots that were tough to get off on my car and the carburetor cleaner took it right now. Oh, and it won't damage any painted or plastic areas. If you don't feel comfortable with that try the WD-40. Let it set for a couple of minutes and then try to wipe off. I hope this helps!

This works very well for interior plastic and vinyl and smells very nice. I really like the UV protection it offers. As for using it on leather, best to E-mail Meguiar's directly and ask them. They are very good at responding and you will the professional answer to your question.

I have not used it for that application, buy I would think that it would work well at removing any corrosion if it exists. It can't hurt in any case. I've been using DeOxit for many tears and have found that it works wonders on any and all electrical contacts. One area that people forget are the various ground straps or cables they have in the engine compartment. Disconnect them and clean well with De-Oxit and replace tightly. I've seen cleaning the grounds fix some strange electrical problems.

Not sure what you are using it for, but if your planning on doing a permanent long term repair I would replace the metal. Por has been a big pain in the butt for me. I'm running into problems using it to restore a car right now. I wish I never used any of their products to be honest with you. That said if you are making a temporary repair it sticks to sand blasted or rusted metal. Scrape the flaky rust off and clean it with a wire wheel use there metal clean and apply. Granted there is a place and time for por15 but it's very hard to top coat and takes a long time for all the processes to be completed. There support line is usually pretty informative though.

I would not put it on plastic, it gets too hot. It works great, heating an old chevy V8 during the NH winter. I have it on the bottom of the oil pan. So, metal only.

Yes, it's ok with leather wrapped steering wheels. I don't see any reason why it should harm the leather. Yes, the diameter will be a bit bigger, but I got big hands so it fits just right. I hope I answered your questions to your liking. (-: keep the rubber side down!

i am not sure... maybe call the company? i have only used on exterior and its fantastic... but it may be fine... i just would not recommend it without knowing `100% that it was safe... i was just told that some car products can cause cracking of leather on say a dash... so be careful and check with someone in the know... but i will say its great on the outside of a car!!!

This works best on sealed leather. I would never use this on high end leather like in a Bentley. You can skip the leather conditioner though, it does nothing to sealed leather. All it does is make it slippery and it doesn't actually condition since it can't absorb into it. Skip the kit and get Chemical Guys NonSENSE instead. Its the same product.

Hi, I've already used for my bicycle, motorcycle and car. But, it was not made for frequent use and if it use continuously for more than 5 minutes, it will get hot.
