As previously mentioned and after much debate I selected Zainos Z-9 & Z-10. Applied Z-9, soft brushed then wiped off. Most dirt accumulation came from the steering wheel. I then wiped on Z-10 with a microfiber cloth. Overall results were good. Steering wheel is like new, seats are a little slippery but have a nice matte finish.
Next time around I may apply Z-10 by hand and let sit for a few minutes to see if the product is absorbed and softens the leather. Not sure why everyone loves the smell of Z-10 though. It was just okay, nothing compared to the smell of new OEM leather. |

I take back my uncertainty with the leatherique products. I just drove the car to work and found myself pleased with the results. Once the pristine clean residue I guess evaporates or gets absorbed or whatever things looked good. You WILL NEED multiple applications of either the RO, PC, or both in extremely high traffic areas- namely the wheel and shift knob. I plan to go at them with the PC later and some fresh microfibers, but right now areas of the wheel that are highly touched are still quite tacky and I can still see what I assume is grit and grime. The slight shine is gone, but it is still gritty and sticky. So overall my assessment of the products is positive, but I think if you want to actually SEE what you spent $50 on, your leather needs to be dirtier and more worn than mine was. Otherwise you just need to trust that the products are instilling all that they claim into the leather. I will say this, I had a patch on the door sil leather where my elbow rests that was shiny and quite noticeable. It's gone now. Completely. I think that's what I'm most happy about I'll post pics once the rest of the interior gets cleaned.

How do Leatherique compare to Chemical Guys stuff? I have two sets of the Chemical Guys leather cleaner/conditioner product and it made little to no difference for me.

Quick update on leather masters.
I got the kit with the soft cleaner. I found that the soft cleaner did not work very well with the supplied sponge. A cup of water and a toothbrush worked much better! Next time I'm going to get one of those larger brushes to use with the soft cleaner. I found the cleaner to be pretty mild so you need something else for deep stains. The conditioner however is great. Applied with my own cotton applicator pads. Dried nice and matte. The matte-ness got better after about 3 days when I suppose it dried fully. I was most concerned with avoiding the shiny finish and for that leather masters is great. A few lessons learned for me: - be more liberal with the soft cleaner and use a brush. The sponge sucks. - cleaner and toothbrush work well to clean dirty areas and take out the shine (i.e. side bolsters, seat edges) - be liberal with conditioner and use applicator pads. Wipe up excess. - try to give as much time for leather to dry before driving. I've been helped a great deal by these forums. Hope this review helps as well! |

I've tried the Auto Finesse leather cleaner/conditioner, I've tried the BMW stuff, and the Chemical Guys stuff. The AF and BMW stuff were about the same -- good not great. The CG stuff was okay at best.
I'm going to try leatherique now. |

Just received the Leatherique Prestine Clean and the Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil. I'm only going to use it for my front seats as no one ever sat in the back before, so I just got the 16oz. bottle of each. I hope it doesn't leave me at the half way of the job.

Now, for home use leather care he recommended only one product line: Zaino Z9 and Z10. I've been using those periodically, only on the front seats since the backs don't get used. After 6 months, the fronts remain clean and there is absolutely no perceptible difference between them and the back seats, which haven't been touched since he worked his magic. |

I purchased the leatherique kit, and will most likely treat the leather next week. I will report back, with pics. So far Belgium has been spot on with all of his postings on his choices and sharing of products, so I am gonig to go ahead and trust him on this one and hope for great results.
