We"re travelling further than ever, but doing it in less trips, Government figures have revealed. The average person covered 6,800 miles during 2004, up five per cent on 2003. The number of journeys is down six per cent to 990, although the amount of time spent making them is the same at 360 hours - roughly 60 minutes a day. Around 80 per cent of all movement is by car.

When we tried Furniture...

When we tried Furniture Clinicò€™s Leather Ultra Clean in our Issue 882 test, it didnò€™t do too well. Now, itò€™s back ò€“ and has been much improved.

The solution is easily worked into the leather, and removes stains well. Once the grime is off, you can apply the companyò€™s Protection Clean, which conditions the hide.

A cloth is supplied to do this, and as the product is rubbed in, it continues to shift stubborn marks.

On our used carò€™s trim, the conditioner absorbed well; not much buffing was needed. But it left a glossy finish ò€“ weò€™d prefer a matt look ò€“ plus the aroma was synthetic.

Furniture Clinicò€™s two-part pack took longer to apply than Simoniz Leather Care Cream ò€“ our Product Honours 2008 champ (Issue 1,011) ò€“ yet still did a decent job.
