Zaino Leather Conditioner

I ordered one of almost everything that Zaino Brothers has to offer and today decided to use the leather conditioner. This has to be the best product out there for conditioning the leather in the MB's. It restores the leather to look new and at the same time brings out that rich leather smell that we all love.

If I didn't live in the Northeast, I would be out washing/claying and waxing the car but looks as though I may have to wait a few months for that to happen. I can only hope the rest of there products are as good as the leather conditioner.

I use Leather-in-a-Bottle to restore the leather smell in my cars. You can even put it on the dash whenever you need to rejuvinate the leather aroma.

The best thing about it is that it's as easy to use as the other Zaino products.

Look at my sig. I am a Zaino fan. Z-6 is great, and I even love the smell of it. The clear glass one is great too. Actually, it was so good, that it made all of the pitting more visible.

I too am a Zaino fan: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/132677-ah-what-bit-sweat-some-zaino-can-do-car.html

It's a lot of work to initially do it... Strip, Clay, wax on, rub off (3 times), Z8 spray, etc... but it's worth it. Just yesterday, I got a hair up my *** and decided to hose the car down, dry it off, and re-apply a 4th layer... took me all of 30 min, I figure by the end of winder (March here in AZ), I'll have some 10 layers of the stuff!

I am tempted to get the Leather in a bottle, but I don't have much leather in the car, and don't like to apply anything to vinyl that doesn't dry or absorb and leaves an oily sheen..

Bud? does it make an armorall type shine, or is it more of a like new finish?

alewifebp: btw.. I have to disagree with your sig! I think there is one thing better than the smell of Z-6 in the morning, and that's Z-8! I just got 3 bottles of the stuff, and I can't stop using it!

Zaino rocks....but the "Mercedes" of leather conditioners is leatherique.

Endorsed my mbworld.org admins worldwide .

Just got my bottles.....smells JUST like real tanning oil. Feel like dumping it all over the car.

Jack, you've got that nice AMG leather so it's going to work great... how does it work on Vinyl? do you wipe it on to the non-leather surfaces? Does it remain oily?

CE750, Any tips you can offer before I attempt the complete deailing job, I purchased the clay bar along with the all the other goodies they have to offer, Washed the car with the Z7 Car wash yesterday but the temp is below freezing in Boston today so will wait on the polish.

Next warm day above 50f I will attempt the Z2 with ZFX. I too have a clear bra on the front-end, did you also polish that ?. Can you use the polish with the ZFX additive on chrome and wheels ? and last but not least did you use Microfiber clothes or 100% cotton like they tell you too to get it all off. ?

Sam, no problem. I've used it on the dashes of both my cars and it works great. Just put it on and wipe it off.
