Leather conditioner
Zaino does smell great, and its also the easiest to spread and faster to use than the other two. The lexol conditioner tends to leave the seats pretty shiny...makes it look cheap. The Zaino leaves a matte/satin finish (when using the right amount).

Ya I'm not trying to have a shiny finish, would look bootleg as hell. Is there a Zaino leather cleaner to go w/ it or it's just the conditioner? Prolly get Lexol cleaner w/ Zaino conditioner?
The lexol stuff is good, but both cleaner and conditioner are a bit too thick for my taste.
the meguires leather cleaner is the best stuff Ive ever used to clean, just be careful getting it on some of the darker trim or the white on the window switches. itll stain the plastics and melt the white paint.
as long as you use it on just leather you'll be fine.
as far as conditioner, zanio; leather in a bottle smells great and does a good job leaving the leather soft, but not greasy.

I might just go w/ the Lexol stuff, I'm detailing the car on saturday and I want to pick it up quick at autozone, I'm just not going to apply too much conditioner to avoid the shine. Can I get Zaino locally or have to order?
They might have a distributor in your area. Just give them a call or order it online.

They have a cleaner and a conditioner. The cleaner does great to get the grime off and keep everything out of the cracks, and the conditioner really returns the supple like-new feel. I guess it's more moisturizer than anything.

After Z10, its soft feeling and grippy again. Make sure you let the seats completely AIR dry after cleaning before putting on any conditioner. Also keep the mindset that the cleaning process is the most important process, otherwise your just putting conditioner on top of dirt and body oils. If the seats are only half *** cleaned, you will get 1/2 results out of the conditioner you put on(i.e shine) For maintenence, do the driver seat/steering wheel and shift **** once a month and the rest a couple times a year.
For the door panels, sides and backsides of the seats I use 303 aerospace or Einsett Cockpit premium. You can use the Zaino Z10 there too, but those portions are vinyl so it really doesnt work in the same manner. When I have used Z10 there( and I have), I do wipe it off, as vinyl is not gonna absorb it like real leather is going to. I guess the thought process there for me anyways, is why waste a leather conditioner on vinyl when you can acheive the same results and UV protection with 303. JMO though :shrugs:
