The leather conditioner from adams is good, but it leaves the leather with too much shine and that doesn't look factory. If I use it, after it soaks in I'll give it a dry wipedown to take some of the sheen off. It is a good product though.

Zaino smells good but I was looking for a stronger leather smell like when I first bought my car

I gave the Adams Leather Conditioner a try a little while back and it didn't really impress me. I didn't think it was a bad product at all.... I just didn't care for the shine it left on the seats. I prefer the low/no shine look, as do many of my clients.


Well this week I gave it another chance on a couple of pricey vehicles (Mercedes GL450 and Porsche 911 Turbo). To my surprise it worked great!! Both of these cars use REAL leather hides and they responded much better to the product. I guess the synthetic covered leather that GM uses just doesn't allow the Adams Leather Conditioner to soak in much. However, on these two cars it worked exceptionally. So, at this time I'd like to publicly change my stance on Adams Leather Conditioner. For genuine leather its a great product and I will be using it more frequently. Some upcoming writeups will feature the use of it as well. Also a thank you to Dylan for setting me up with it as well.
