Leather Treated w/ Zaino - Pics Inside

[M4rk]

After doing extensive research on which leather treatment products to use, and which to avoid, it came down to two highly recommended and excellent products:

The Leatherique kit, and Zaino Z-9 + Z-10. The choice was clear, given the price difference, though the Leatherique kit even comes with brushes to justify the cost.

The Zaino kit (not really a kit) consist of the Z-9 leather cleaner, and Z-10 conditioner. When used in conjunction, your leather will be well cleaned and conditioned, leaving it with a very soft feel, and great leather smell. I did this in a cold unheated garage with the use of a heater and hair dryer in order to absorb the products better. I only did the passenger seat today. Too lazy to do the one I sit in :shifty:

Dirty MF towel after using the cleaner. Wow!

That's all for now. I will update the thread in a few days to further report on the product.

Thanks for looking

Looking good, where did you find those products?

 

[Andrizzle]

Definitely looks good.

However I always feel after treating the seats with any type of wipe, it just takes the next person to sit in it to take all of the stuff off with their clothes.

Looks good!

I use Leather Masters, and am very happy with the results.

:shifty:i use nail polish remover to clean, and vegetable oil to protect lmao

 

[tireman]

lexal are the best

lexal products are great. to cover the cracks and creases that form on the leather use a matching spray leather dye. you can view the results on youtube, just look up leather refinishing or dyeing. they will look like new.

Thank you. You can buy them directly off Zaino. They even sell them in Canada. I linked to the products in the second sentence.

Thanks! My mom said the same thing lol. Hopefully that won't be the case though. This stuff has been highly regarded by many, and is real, unlike Armorall, etc. I can still feel the product on my hand, so I think it'll be fine.

Thanks. Sure - I'm finally stocking up on some better detailing products.

Don't think I'll go that far yet. Maybe when the car's up for sale..

Yep, you should clean and condition your leather to prolong it's life. It's like using hand cream.. which I don't and now my hands are dry, red and cracked :shifty:.

Looks good. I bought some leather products a few weeks ago, pretty good results too.I wish the previous owner had taken better care of the driver's seat's leather.

 

[BlackLS06]

drivers seats will always look bad as they get the most wear and tear.

especially with people who are heavier.

so would you consider the LS discriminatory?

 

[FASTLLS]

Looks great! Give a small shot of it on the shifter knob, it will bring the color back.
BTW, how is the stuff smell?

 

[M4rk]

05_LS8, the stuff smells very good. It's there every time I sit into the car

Gotta love the smell of the leather conditioners. Gives the car a fresh/new car smell.
