So I got my new 08 TL Type S 2 months ago and I want to use leather conditioner on it. I have never had leather interior before. I got zaino cleaner and conditioner. What parts of the car should I use the conditioner on? I have read that the only leather on the car is on the middle of the seats and the side bolsters. Is this true? Is it ok to use the conditioner on the entire seat? What about the arm rests on the door, the leather piece on the door that is stiched (see pic), the center arm rest, and the steering wheel.
I want to keep the interior looking as good as possible.



Thanks,
Mike

 

Mike,

From what I've understood from Sal Zaino, you can use both Zaino leather products on all leather portions of the interior. I purchased both leather products from them and used it all over the interior of my Type S. It smells real good and does a very nice job.

 

Yeah, I know I can use it on all leather portions of the interior but I am not sure what all is leather. There are parts that look like they are leather but my not be.

 

I used it on all interior pieces except for the dash.

 

any real leather in the tl or most cars for that matter is sealed in plastic anyway...most leather care for cars is going to beable to care for leather, plastic interior parts, vinyl and such....treat your whole seat the same...

 

i use CONNOLLY products for the leather inside...really good products..used on high end cars like the bentleys..
