Beige leather owners...LOOK! (pics included)

i just got my zaino products yesterday and decided to use it this morning. I cleaned half to make an comparison.
Heres the Results!! (sorry..im a noob at taking pics)

I used z9 then toped with z10

I like to use Woolite and water @ 6:1 with a toothbrush and nail brush on leather seats.

yup . Z9 is the leather cleaner. This is the one that makes the biggest difference in cleaning your leather. Z10 is the "leather in a bottle". This is just to help mantain the leather but there are no cleaning agents in it. Z10 tightens up the leather a LOT and it does not leave that oily/greasy feel.

I didnt find the toothbrush to be very effective. I guess my stains have been there for quite some time so i needed something a bit more "rough".

I just used the Lexol products (the cleaner and the conditioiner) and they are AMAZING in my opinion. Just applied with microfiber and it took off the grey on the seats from my clothes/sweat/whatever. Conditioner made it look and smell like new. LOVE IT!

What did you use?

I used a toothbrush and nailbrush on these seats with another cleaner, and came out well.

but i think i will try it with a toothbrush next time thanks!

For heavy duty cleaning try using the Leatherique Kit. You'll never go back to anything else.

For week to week use, Zaino Z9 & Z10 "Leather in a bottle" is excellent.
