Quote: Since I'm in Canada I buy it online from Zaino Canada. On the leather I always use the cleaner fist before the conditioner. On the plastic its mostly just the cleaner. Unless I'm feeling overly ambitious then I do both . On a side note, Zaino works great on leather furniture also...
Thanks for the info. I noticed it's not through most 3rd party or even detailing websites. It seems you can really just get it directly through Zaino online.

I'll give the Z9/Z10 combo a shot. From what I've read, it really smells good (leathery scent) too, and it's not as expensive as Leatherique.

By the way, does it leave your leather seats shiny or factory matte?

Yes, it does smell amazing! It's not overly shiny and not exactly factory matte - kind of something in between if that makes any sense
