Q: Stone Grey Leather Seats Advice

Hello everybody.. i have an 08 IP G35S, and its only about 2 months old and i love it... i was wondering what you fellow gret interior owners (even beige leather) keep your leather interiors clean... Ive noticed my seats getting some slight discolor around the butt bolster area..

Anybody suggest any cleaner and conditioner? any hints or secrets? much appreciated!


Ron

+1 on Zaino. Their cleaner and conditioner I think are excellent and smell great. Never underestimate a damp mf towel though for certain clean ups.

This will probably get moved to the "care and detailing" section...when it does run some searches in there. Tons of info on leather care in there.

I'm a lexol user when it comes to leather cleaning. Been using lexol forever and I love it.

Where to buy Zaino?

Where can I buy Zaino? I hear it smells great....

I checked out some auto-retailer stores and didn't see Zaino.... They have Lexol, Armorall, Meguiar.

Thanks.

You have to order Zaino from the website, they don't sell it in stores

Their website is zainostore.com

+1 on Zaino's leather in a bottle, That is what I use on my stone gray leather interior when I wash my car

If anything gets dirty in between washes though I'll just use a damp white diaper or rag or mf or something

If you want a cheap alternative cleaner for leather. You can mix Woolite 6:1 to clean the leather, carpet and interior pieces. Then after everything is clean you can use what conditioner to softing the leather and then spray a UV protectant to protect the leather from the harmful sun. Some good brands that everyone use are:

Zaino Z9 and Z10
Lexol ph leather cleaner, Lexol leather conditioner
Connolly leather cleaner and conditioner
Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine Clean
303 Aerospace Protectant

I've had alot of success with 1Z leather conditioner/cleaner. It cleans and protects, and keeps the factory looking finish.

Apply with your hand, rub in the areas well, then buff out with a clean MF or t-shirt.

you may want to protect the seats further with 303 uv protectant or something similar.
