has anyone ever used the zaino leather in a bottle? what would you recommend for cleaning the leather. sorry for not searching.

thanks in advance

 

Search. You'll find the answer.

But if you're too lazy, get Lexol.

lexol is not that good in my opinion. Only works well if you keep up on the leather maintenance.

 

To clean the leather several people here recommend using i mix of water and Woolite....I believe it's 5 parts water and 1 part Woolite....at least that's what I used and was pleased with the results.

I use Lexol conditioner after and in between periodically.

 

Mo,
what do you use?

 

Lexol leather cleaner works great, I`ve used it on blood, and other things to.

 

Use good stuff and keep up on routine maintenance and you will be ok. I have used in the past few days alone: Lexol, Zaino and Pinnacle. They all work great, no definitive winner or looser.

On Autopia's forums they talk about using 303 protectant in between conditioning to guard agains UV and dirt, I have not tried that but a lot report that it works great.

 

Still scares me a bit....the whole blood thing.....I'm picturing American Pyscho with a little Huey Lewis playing in the background.

 

where did you guys buy Lexol? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

someone said at pepboys (but not at all of them) and someone said a good leather store. I tried Kar Parts, they only had the refil bottle - no spray. You can get it online, but pay double by the time you pay for shipping.

Many others as well

 

So do you use the cleaner or conditioner, or both?

 

I just use Lexol conditioner.....I use the water/Woolite mix to clean.

Your local leather shop will have all sorts of leather conditioners and cleaners: Lexol, Pinnacle, etc... Plus, they have all sorts of sizes and applicators and such. Just find a leather shop and you'll have all the selection you would ever need.

 

May I ask what you use?

 

I love the smell of a freshly Zaino'ed interior. They have one of the best leather cleaner/conditioner I have ever used.

 

This may sound crazy but I swear it works. Take some Soft Scrub (lemon with degreaser) and work it into the leather with a soft, fine toothbrush. Rinse it off and use some leather conditioner to protect the leather. After I got my Legend last year and did this to the whole interior, it practically looked new.

Just experimented with a couple of interior car care products.

Used to apply Lexol leather care: just tried the Pinnacle leather and i must say it's worth the 2x cost of lexol. The leather really feels like it has been re-hydrated - not to mention it brings out a much nicer leather smell than the Lexol. I however still use the Lexol leather cleaner _wipes_ to remove stains (it works like a real charm and beats the messy spray on).

Used to apply Lexol Vinylex: just tried Aerospace 303 vinyl protectant - objectively, you can't really tell the difference. They both apply the same and don't leave a glossy look. However, i'll be sticking to 303 b/c it has a much better smell and hypes its 100% UV protection (only time will tell but i'm willing to buy into it for now).

if you're looking for these products, the best site i've found is (very reasonable and fast shipping):
