Rennsport Reunion

We spent this past weekend at Laguna Seca at Porsche's Rennsport Reunion.  We brought along a lot of our new products, including our 356 / 912 Sport Exhaust to show off.  We had so much booth traffic we really didn't get out to watch too many races—but we did enjoy seeing the Tractor races as well as the debut of the new 991-based 935.  Speaking of debuts—we had a lot of interest in our upcoming (and exclusive) line of properly anodized Maxilite Fuchs-replacement wheels.  

Since we didn't venture out much, we're linking to Porsche's newsroom and a host of other websites for your surfing pleasure:

Racer Magazine had Porsche driver Patrick Long do a video walk-around of some of the awesome sights and sounds from Rennsport.  You can see that here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALedWU9WBZI&feature=share

Obenauf's Leather Oil

Stoddard is proud to announce that we are now a stocking distributor for Obenauf's Leather Oil.  It's a great product that helps older leather look its best.  Made in the USA from a special formulation of beeswax and natural oils, it freshens older leather and keeps it from cracking further.  It's easy to apply. We treated the leather in all of our cars and have been very pleased with the results.  It even works on other leather products, like shoes and belts. 

You can purchase it HERE in our online store.  

We sell the Obenauf's Leather Oil in a convenient 8-ounce bottle. This will be enough oil to treat your seats several times.  

This is a typical side bolster seen on a well-cared for 993.  After 20+ years, the leather has dried and started cracking. 

The top cap of the bottle includes a dauber to apply the oil.  

After you've applied some oil with the dauber, you might also try rubbing the oil into the leather with your hands.  It's easier to work into the seams and corners that way.  We'd probably recommend latex or nitrile gloves for this step.  

Side bolsters typically need the most attention. 

Use your fingers to massage the oil into the seams and cracks of the leather. 

After you've applied the Obenauf's Leather Oil, let it sit over night.  Reapply to any areas that are cracked and let it absorb again.  Finally, you can buff it to a nice, matte shine.  

Once the leather is buffed, you can see how the finish is very uniform, soft and "healthier" than when you started. It does not fill in any cracks or bring back areas where the dye has worn away, it just helps keep the leather soft and supple so further damage is minimized. 

You can purchase it HERE in our online store.  

#hubcapselfie

We photograph a lot of cars and shiny parts here--and if there's one "Selfie" that irks us, it's when you're trying to showcase something and DO NOT want the photographer's reflection to be so obvious in the chrome.  So let's turn that negative into a positive and show your goofy side.

912 Registry Rendezvous Photos

  We certainly have a soft spot in our hearts (and heads) for the Porsche 912.  The combination of the 356-sourced engine and the 911 chassis make it neither here nor there, but something unique in it's own right.  The 912 Registry's Rendezvou events celebrate the car and are a great way to meet likeminded enthusiasts.
