I need some recommendations for leather care, any products you guys recommend and steps to take for care???? (I am new to leather)

 

Zaino Z-9 "Leather Soft Spray Cleaner" and Zaino Z-10 "Leather in a Bottle". Will keep that "New Leather" smell and feel.

 

I use meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner....works well. U live in CA, so the heat will dry out the leather, so just gotta keep it clean and more importantly conditioned to keep the moisture in the leather...prevents cracking, fading, etc.

 

Believe it or not, I have yet to try the Zaino leather products. I'll have to try them. I have always used Lexol on my 92 Stealth though and it does a very nice job.

I just got leather seats for my Z and just did them this past weekend. I have always applied the leather cream to the seats with my hands. It is like giving a massage! Anyone else ever do that?

 

Yup. My only complaint is that your hands get a little numb after rubbing that much surface area. I started doing it to my Avalon several years ago. That's a lot of leather to massage! The Zs not nearly as bad. Actually, the instructions on the bottle said to do it that way so that's why I started.

 

The Zaino Z-9 and Z-10 do work great. I even use them on vinyl and plastic components.

 

My wife saw me doing this and said, "What the heck are you doing!?"

I think she was just jealous!!!

 

Doc, can't believe you have not tried the Zaino Z-9 and Z-10! Don't let Sal know. If she got jealous over previous product, wait to switch to Zaino products for leather. I am at 51! Does that mean I have to start over after my "Brick" comes out of the body shop?

 

Lexol gets my vote. Pick up the cleaner and conditioner. It does a great job and makes your leather smell like new!

 

does that lexol leave a greasy feeling?? thats the only thing i didn't like about meguiars.

 

It feels a little "wet" for a little bit after you apply it but once it absorbs into the leather it is as smooth as silk.

 

I find that lexol isn't greasy at all. If anything it leaves a tacky feel to the leather. Its nice that after you use it you don't slide around in the seat or anything like that. Zaino leaves the seat more slippery, but its shinnier and smells much better than lexol. I typically use Zaino on my Z; mostly because I like the look and smell better but I'm sure lexol is just as good for conditioning, if not better. I'm curious to try Pinnacle's leather products from www.properautocare.com. Ive read great things about it in the past but Ive never given it a shot.

 

Ive been using Armor All leather care for a yr. Keeps the leather from drying and still looks new. But makes it a little slippery. It brings out the leather scent too.

 

i used 303 aerospace protectant on the entire interior (including the leather). loved the results except for the door panels but i'm not sure anything's gonna work on those...
