Zymol Leather Conditioner I actually found it at a Target near my house. It was about 8 bucks. Im assuming this is some kind of cheap form of zymol, because online its 31 bucks. But I went ahead and tested it out and I worked very well. It went on very easy, let it set for a few minutes, and wiped it down. My seats look great. Has anyone else seen this stuff before or used it?
never heard of it. i use a few conditioners, one has a sunblock in it, and one is like a leather wax. it really works well out here where the sun beats down relentlessly on the seats.
how is the shine on that stuff?

It has a great shine. I used lexol before, and I hated how dull it made the seats looks. This otc zymol made my seat pop. It has alot of natural oils in it with beef collogen. I have used alot of mother, meguiars, etc. But this stuff really impressed me.

Look on the back label towards the bottom for the Z-code. If it's Z-509 you got one hell of a deal. Z-509 is meant to be used along with Z-507...if you don't use both you are only getting half the benefit.
Those two products are top notch...they hang with the best. But they are usually quite expensive ($16-$20 each).

Verdad Gallardo Yeah the idea is you are supposed to apply the Z-507 and let it sit for 15 minutes, then buff it off and apply the Z-509. If you like it shiny, just apply and leave. I prefer a more natural "new" leather appearance, so I buff mine a second time after the application of Z-509.

Wow, I walk right by that stuff every time I'm at Target. I always thought it was repackaged or something. One is a clear goldish color and the other is a light blue color. Will have to pick them up next time I go.

Guys be careful of what you put on your seats. Our leather is coated leather making a lot of the conditioners out there useless. This is simply due to the fact that the product cannot penetrate the coated finish (almost like a clear coat) and simply sits up top and makes things shiny.
To make things worse, it attracts dust, dirt and other various gunk that harm the finish. The key to keeping coated leather is to keep it clean and wiped down regularly. You would be surprised what a rag and water can do. Im sure some of you know this, but others might not be aware of this as I wasn't and used Lexol Conditioner up until a month ago.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I don't have stock leather. I have Arizen upholstered Recaros, so I can't vouch for how well the product works on stock leather. Though the Meguiars products I used to use on the stock leather worked just fine. So I don't see there really being any issues with the Zymol products either.
