Lucas Oil 10576-12PK Safeguard Ethanol Fuel Conditioner - 16 oz Review

Lucas Oil 10576-12PK Safeguard Ethanol Fuel Conditioner - 16 oz.,
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I'm not a mechanic, so I don't know if it is helping my engine as it claims; but my car runs fine after using it for about a month and a half, and my gas mileage increased from 21.6 to 22.2 mpg, and it may increase further. I bought this product because I heard that ethanol has bad effects on engines, especially small engines, so I also use it for my lawn mower and snowblower.

I have several hobby cars including an older Weber-equipped Alfa Romeo that don't get daily use. Consequently, the gas gets stale and the injectors get gummed-up, all of which affects starting and drivability. Add to that the ever-increasing use of that lousy ethanol by gas companies, and it's a nightmare for car enthusiasts with older cars.

I recently took a chance with this Lucas product, and tried it first on my finicky Spider. I added 3 ounces to the 12 gallon tank (the instructions recommend 1ounce for every 5 gallons). Startup is now instantaneous, and the mid-range hesitation is gone. I generally have avoided fuel additives in my cars, but this one has made a believer of me. It will now go in my other cars.

This product is an essential additive for older cars. Ethanol can destroy the fuel injectors and fuel system components in older cars. This has prompted gas stations to post warnings such as "Consult your manufacturer for use of gasoline with ethanol in mid-1980 and older equipment". This warning was observed at my local Sunoco station. This product should be used with every fill up if you would like to keep your older car running.

First off, this comes with FOUR saddles as opposed to the picture, which only shows two. Like the other reviewer stated, the hardware is not perfect. The U-bolts take a little elbow grease to fit into their slots, but I did not have any problem with the screw-knobs threading. Each saddle screwed down tightly and securely to my 2002 Ford Escape factory cross bars (I was a little afraid because my bars are about 3-4 inches wide, but it was fine).

I used this to transport a large 13 foot tandem kayak. The included straps are just what you need: two straps with buckles to tie the kayak down to the roof rack, and bow and stern tie downs. I felt very comfortable taking it on the highway.

Overall, I would recommend this product to those looking to save some money compared to Yakima or Thule solutions. These mount great on factory crossbars, and you get everything you need for about half the price of name brand saddles. I did purchase the Thule water slide mat in additionThule 854 Water Slide Kayak Carrier Accessory Mat, and this setup works perfect for me.

This product could have been an amazing deal. The price is great, and the quality of the saddles are great, but the hardware is garbage. It is nice that they come with u-bolts, allowing this product to be used with virtually any factory crossbars. Unfortunately, the quality if the u-bolts were terrible. The provided knobs fit on the u-bolts less than half the time. The threading is very very poor on the u-bolts. While attaching the first saddle, one knob went on just fine, the other was stripping the threading on the u-bolt. In an effort to see what was exactly the issue, the knob or the u-bolt, I tried standard nuts on the u-bolts, and the knobs on standard bolts. Knobs were fine, u-bolts were not. A trip to the hardware store will hopefully remedy the situation, but it was fairly frustrating trying to make this work.

After a long battle, I was able to secure the saddles with a mix of the knobs and nuts. Once on there, it did what it was supposed to, helped transport my kayak securely.

This would be deserving of an easy 5 stars if not for the u-bolts. Small gripe, maybe, but I was just hoping for something a little better.

I have two kayaks (10 ft, 15 ft) and a Nissan Pathfinder. Both kayaks were easy to mount securely to my SUV with these mouning saddles. I did, however, buy racheting straps as the provided mounting straps did not feel secure enough for highway speed. I also put a little WD-40 on the mounting screws as they were painted which made using them a pain. Overall a good product, just needs some customer common sense modifications to work perfect!

Exact same saddles as Thule. The way they attach to your mounting bar is a little different than Thule, but pretty much the same thing and much cheaper. Same quality.

the 2012 kia soul has an awkward seat belt that drives into your hip just a little bit, the seat belt extender in itself is great, but for my particular car it made the seat belt drive into my stomach instead of my hip and although it felt very secure there was a bit of metal sticking out as the seat belt didn't click all the way in. in other cars im sure this would be great.

I expressed my problem and i got a refund right on the spot with no return needed! very hassle free.

9pc Safari Grey Cheetah Print Car Floor Mats, High Back Seat Review

Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
Let me first start off by saying: I love this product! I have a Blue 2002 ford explorer and I wanted something that was going to match the exterior of the truck! You get a lot of components in this set compared to other sets. In this set I got:

-Seat covers (2)

-Floor Mats (2 large front row, 2 small back row mats)

-Wheel Cover (1)

-Seat Belt Covers (2)

Let me first review the seat covers:

They are perfect for large trucks/vehicles, however, the trick is getting them to stay. I have yet to get them to stay completely still. They move a lot when you get in and out of the car. I like them, because they fit, but they move around alot.

Floor Mats:

They disguise dirt well, and fit the ford explorer well.

Wheel Cover:

This is VERY HARD to get on. I struggled for like 20 minutes.

The seat belt covers I don't use.

Overall I always get comments on this particular product. I would recommend it!!!

I wanted something to protect my Lexus RX350 car seat but can't use a seat cover since the seat has an air bag, therefore I looked for a car cushion and found this one. I'm happy to purchase this as it blends well with my black leather. The top part has an elastic strap and bottom uses strap with clip to keep the cushion in place. Looks nice, functional and priced right.

This cushion is fairly comfortable and fits my car seat well. The straps hold it in place well.

Honest reviews on Beaded Seat Cushion - Tan

This is an excellent product and at a very reasonable price. It is perfect for smoothing out the excessive flares of modern bucket seats and making them softer and more comfortable. I am using this item on a 2011 Toyota RAV4 bucket seat which was not quite comfortable because the seat itself is excessively hard and its flares (sides) pressed in on my legs and buttocks. I do recommend using its harnesses to keep this seat cushion in place, because it will tend to slide on the seat without proper attachment. The black cover also complements my tan interior beautifully. In addition, this cushion protects your seats from wear and did not emit any obnoxious odor. I have ordered two of these so far and they have arrived in pristine condition. I do recommend this seat cushion.

Update 9-30-2013:

These seat cushions are evidently very durable and retain their appearance, as mine have with daily use.

I purchased this to put on top of my car's leather seat for comfort and protection of the leather. This is not for cars with leather seats. By the time I sat in the car the cushion had shifted to the point of being uncomfortable. It simply would not stay in place. The strap that goes over the back of the seat slid all the way down and the other two straps for the bottom of the seat were useless. I got so fed up I ended up tossing it in the back seat and now my dog seems to love it!

I bought this for a friend who has a Jeep, after I bought a similar product from the same company (OEM Extenders) for my own Kia. These are safe, easy to use, and help the seat belt fit better so the harness strap doesn't cut into the side of your neck. I also use these to create a little more room for a passenger who is too large to fit the normal seat belt comfortably. These belt extenders merely clip into the existing belt -quick to add or remove. I have ordered a few from OEM Extenders and they ship promptly, and the product is exactly as described. Very pleased.

This conditioner is simply astounding! I used it on an old, old bag and it softened the leather and renewed the color. I used it on my briefcase and scratches and marks disappeared! I even used it on a leather duster I have, and not only did it restore the leather, it also smells nice! Some leather products are chemically based and it shows in the nose! Not Leather Milk! Now, if it would only work on my face, to remove wrinkles, soften the skin, get rid of them nasty old age spots...alas, I guess only my leather goods will benefit. Buy some, use it, enjoy it, your leather will thank you for it! There is one problem with Leather Milk that you should know about before you purchase. You won't be able to buy just one bottle! Once you see what it does for your leather goods, you, and your leather, will be hooked! This is a great product, by a great company, the performs a great service...so what's not to love?

For my birthday, my wife bought me a Saddleback wallet in the lightest possible color, and I absolutely loved it. It had tremendous character, and it aged beautifully over the first few months of its life in my pocket. Hands down, it was the best wallet I had ever owned.

Then we went to an amusement park. And we went on an inner tube ride. And we all got soaked. Twice.

I didn't realize the mistake I'd made until we went to attempt to dry out and I pulled my wallet from my pocket. It was soaked through. The leather had absorbed a lot of water and was now very dark in color. I panicked.

But I remembered reading on the Saddleback web site that Dave Munson had had a similar experience and had simply let his piece dry, then treated it with some of this Chamberlain's Leather Milk and voila, it was good as new. I ordered some as soon as I got home from the park.

It arrived a few days later and I waited until the weekend to use it, because I just couldn't live without my wallet and I wasn't sure how long the treatment would take. I had let the wallet dry for a full day before putting it back into use, and it had mostly recovered but I wanted to ensure its long life. It really is that amazing.

So I opened the bottle, took out the provided applicator pad, and rubbed a bit of the conditioner on the back side of the wallet, which soaked it right up. I rubbed in a little more until it appeared that the wallet had a good, consistent coating, then did the same on the other side. The inside came next. I stood the wallet up on its end (after treating the end-grain as well) leaving it open in a v-shape to let the Leather Milk soak in and dry. By the time I came back from doing yard work a few hours later, it was mostly done, but I gave it a few more hours to be safe. I buffed the wallet with a soft cloth and it's as good as new, if a bit darker and a bit smoother than before (the untreated wallet had a soft, almost sueded quality that it no longer has, but that's a pretty minor quibble and I suspect it would have lost that over time regardless).

If you're expecting some nasty-smelling liniment, you're in for a treat. I can't be sure whether it's vanilla or almond, but this stuff smells incredibly nice, and the resulting post-treatment leather, instead of smelling of vanilla (or almond) just smells nice and leathery again.

Only time will tell whether this product actually extends the life of my wallet, but I know I'll be re-treating it every 6 months or so just to be safe. For leather that you want to keep around for a good long time, this is pretty inexpensive insurance.

I bought this product because I wanted to restore a red leather Coach purse that looked dull, dry, and covered in scratches. I also had accidentally spilled some oily soup on it which had stained the front slightly. I was debating between this and the Leather Honey conditioner but in the end picked this one (I'll probably still buy Leather Honey to see how that works). All I know is that Chamberlain's Leather Milk worked really well. It was really helpful that this came with the cotton applicator (which, incidentally turned red when I used it on the red leather, but the purse is fine). The leather looks so healthy and hydrated and the texture is quite soft and supple. The scratch marks are gone as well. Initially, the purse looked darker and I was worried that the color had changed drastically. After 10 minutes to let it dry, the color returned to normal (and the stain from the oily soup was gone!). The almond scent of the Leather Milk is incredible. This is definitely worth the money and I will be purchasing this again! (NOTE: I also used it on another purse I had and that one initially had a slightly sticky coating which went away once it completely dried.)

Honest reviews on Chamberlain's Leather Milk 8oz Leather Care Liniment Conditioner

Here's the deal. I bought The No#1 and No#2 to clean and condition a home theater couch and love seat that had not been cleaned in years. But after putting in a new theater system I thought it was time to take care of the furniture. It's a very nice couch and love seat that withstood my sons and their friends throughout the years. You know what that means. I decided to use the cleaner first because...well why not right? While cleaning one of the cushions on the dinning room table, I spilled the whole bottle on the table and that was the end of that, so I moved right to the conditioner. The No#1 smells great and worked right into the leather bringing this couch back to life. It looks great and feels great. Look no further this stuff will take care of your leather.

I have to also tell you that the customer service is outstanding. They read an email from me talking about the spill and sent me a new bottle of the cleaner free of charge just like that. That says it all. I just ordered a bottle of No#1 and No#5 for other leather products I own and I'll never use anything else. Thanks Chamberlains!

I used the leather milk on some very expensive alligator and leather bags (Lana Marks, Louis Vuitton) that I have had for up to ten years and I am so pleased to see them restored to their former glory! I also used it on my beige 2002 SAAB car seats and they are beautiful. My SAAB is my pride and joy as it is in excellent condition and I wanted to maintain the beauty of the seats that are not cracked or worn but were showing warning signs of age. After using this product on the seats, they are practically like new again. I can't comment on what they would do for more worn seats but the signs of aging that had begun on my car seats were eliminated after one application of Chamberlain's. I did use more product than was necessary which made the seats a bit sticky for a while. I suggest using small amounts at a time and to have plenty of clean flannel or microfiber cloths to buff the seats after they've had a chance to sit and absorb the milk for an hour or two.

Because of the natural ingredients in this product I was not hesitant at all to use them on my valuable bags. Alligator and leather need to be moisturized, just like any skin. I had neglected the alligator bag and am very thankful that Chamberlain's Leather Milk nourished it and has kept it and will continue to keep it from cracking. It makes no sense to have luxury items and not take care of them. (Self-admonition, there.) The reason I hadn't conditioned them up to this point was that I hadn't found anything that wasn't full of chemicals which, in my opinion, would have been detrimental to my items and not at all helpful. Happily, I no longer need to worry about that with this product.

As with my car seats, I was a bit enthusiastic with application and used far more than was needed. Again, I recommend using just a small bit at a time. When the sponge gets saturated, you will barely need to add more product. Let it sit on the items for a while and if the leather is particularly neglected and thirsty, let it sit for maybe an hour or two and then decide if a second application is necessary. Once the milk has fully absorbed buff it with a flannel cloth. This will not make matte leather "shiny" but will instead bring out a more desirable healthy and natural glow and suppleness.

Can not wait to use it on the leather sofa that has been ravaged by dog paws!

This review is for application in a 2012 Durango. I have used these for about 4 months now and think they are decent mats with a few flaws. Initially I spent a great deal comparing these mats to the Weathertech version, and ultimately chose these due to them being on sale for an incredible price of $108.

Out of the box, the first important thing to note is to watch your fingers! The nubs on the rear of the mat that help "grip" them to the carpet are extremely sharp. I don't know that they would break skin, but they're very uncomfortable to handle at the least (see pictures). These could have easily been designed better to provide a slightly more blunt nub, if for nothing more than personal comfort during handling.

As for the fit, as several other reviewers have noted, these are very rigid mats that do not flex to conform to your vehicle at all. If you put them on the ground, they maintain their shape very well. The problem with this is that if they took a set during shipping or if they don't fit your car perfectly, it is almost impossible to correct themleaving gaps that dirt and grime can get behind (again, see pictures). It would have been better if they extended to overlap the door sill, to ensure that water and dirt could not make their way behind them, or made them more flexible so that they would naturally lay flat on the car contours.

In general, all of the mats fit fairly well, or in my opinion as good as can be expected for floor mats. My exception/ complaint is that the driver's mat does not stay in place due to the poor use of the car's included mat clips to positively retain the mats. Instead of making holes in the floor mat to lock into the car clip (like the regular carpet maps do), they molded the mats over them. But because of the car's height off the ground, every time you put your right foot in and slide/climb/lift into the vehicle, you end up pushing the mat to the right. They claim they made the mats this way to provide a "waterproof seal" but in reality it's probably because they are cheaper to make this wayno knock-outs are required in the injection molding tool or no manual punch-out operations are required during manufacturing. The problem is that after a few entrances and exits, the mat has migrated to the right and created a gap near the door (see pictures). This same problem does not exist on the passenger side, because that mat is a much tighter fit. If it were not for the drivers mat moving so much, I'd give these mats a 4, but given that I find myself adjusting it a few times a week, a 3 it is.

We ordered these for our new 2012 Dodge Durango. With three kids I was looking for a way to save the carpet and make cleanup of the never ending messes easier. These liners were exactly what I was hoping for. They are made to fit your specific vehicle so they fit great. The liners cover the entire foot area and have slightly raised edges to keep wet messes (snow,sleet,mud,juice box) on the mat. I would recommend these for any one with kids or high traffic in your vehicle.

I purchased these for my 2012 Grand Cherokee and the fit of the mats is outstanding...they are definitely custom molded to the interior. These also have high lips to contain water/mud and there are no holes in them for the factory "hold down hooks" like some of the other popular brands have. This allows all water and debris to be contained and not leak down into the carpet. The Husky liners also feel very secure when installed and do not slide around at all. Two thumbs up!
