"I have some tailored seat covers in the Hilux. I had some like these in my Mk6/7 Hilux’s. These are my current ones in the Mk8. You don't have to have red, they come in black and grey etc. I just happen to like the red. They do look just like leathe…"

Scarify before spray?
I'm going to be applying a selectivie - most likely Mogul - to a clients lawn soon, as well as scarifying, before reseeding (once interval between spray and seeding is up). Should I apply the selective before scarifying or after?
