My dad uses McGuires leather wipes on his Corvette and likes them a lot. He says that the Armor All ones are too shiny and feel greasy.

I haven't figured out yet what I'm going to use yet on my Z, but I'll probably give McGuires a shot first.

Order the Zaino "Cleaner" and "Leather in a Bottle". Two years of ownership and 34,000 miles and leather looks and smells like "new"!

I've got Classic Soft Trim leather seats installed in my Z and I use the cleaner and conditioner that came with them.

I use the Meguiar's leather cleaner spray bottle. Works great. Just spray on, and wipe off with a MF (microfiber) towel. Does the job and leaves the seats shiney, slick, and smelling grrrreat!

You're going to be better off with a cream type of leather polish. Most, if not all, of these contain formaldehyde which if you do not know, is a preservative. It works wonders on leather. If your leather looks dry and on the verge of cracking it can save your seats. The Zaino leather in a bottle and the cream type of Armor All are great. Either of these will work perfectly. IMO they are pretty much the same.

That seems a little extreme. Leather is not that hard to take care of. You don't need to buy an expensive product. $8 should get you a good leather cleaner/condtioner.

The most important thing is to use a TWO step cleaner and conditioner, the all in ones are not much. That is why we have the Z-9 cleaner and z-10 conditioner separate...
