I switched when my Lexol ran out. Either does a good job of protection, but Zaino is much more pleasant to use.

What about the non-leather parts of the interior? I used some Armoral wipes and they left noticible wipe marks in places that i'm not too thrilled about.

I use the Eagle Nanotechnology leather and vinyl cleaner - smells good, leaves a nice matte finish, and took a lot of creases out of the leather.

I highly reccomend this product - I instantly noticed the difference. Leather feels softer to the touch and with less creases appears more firm.

after using the lexol cleaner and conditioner, does it leave your seats feeling greasy or shinny? i'm kind of trying to stay away from both...
