Zaino for leather? any good?

First, i apologize if this topic is already covered elsewhere, but i didn't see any at a "quick" glance.

My car is 95 model with some minor cracks in the leather seats; nothing that bad. Luckily, the leather is black and don’t show much dirt so I don’t know if it is dirty. I just ordered Zaino leather cleaner and Conditioner (Z9 & Z10). Haven’t used it yet. Does anyone have any experience with Zaino leather stuff? Any good advise on what to do to bring a little old leather to life?

Also, what do you recommend to use to clean the wood trim? Thanks.

for older leather i HIGHLY recommend getting leatherique... (scroll down a few threads). Z10 isn't that great at older leather, but mainly maintaining the feel and softening leather. Leatherique will really deep clean your seats, and fill the pores with oil making your leather softer. They say it has proteins and other goodies to strengthen the hide.

I have both Z9 and Z10, and I agree with Al. They work well to maintain leather, but they won't drastically change the state of older leather.

Which Leatherique product do you recommend? The Leather Rejuvenator Oil? or do i need their leather cleaner as well? given i already have Z9. thanks.
