Zaino Z9 Leather Cleaner

What type/kind of brush should I get to clean the leather in my car? The bottle recommends a brush to apply the cleaner, what's everyone use in this situation? Any users out there, let me know.

Hmmm . . . Prior to applying the Z9, I lightly moisten a clean terry cloth towel and wipe down the leather surfaces. Allow the leather to dry, if required. I then spray the Z9 lightly onto the leather in a small area, so as not to waste and allow the Z9 to soak into the leather. I then remove the Z9 with a clean terry cloth towel. I repeat this procedure, until all of the leather surfaces have been cleaned. Then . . . the Z10!

Yeah that sounds like it would work. The Z9 bottle recommends using a brush, so I wasn't sure if anybody out there followed the instructions.

I use a fingernail brush sold at a local CVS. It's awesome! Gets deep down and cleans a ton of gunk out of the leather I never knew was there.

Just picked up a polish applicator brush from a local shoe repair store, let you know how it works.

I use a toothbrush but only on actually stains or scratches, which are few and far between. Mostly I just do exactly what Andy does.

I use a microfiber sponge applicator. Works great!

In my opinion, the best thing to use on leather is a shoe-shine brush. A good quality shine brush can be picked up in just about any department store, and it's designed specifically to be gentle on leather. If you're like me and keep your leather pretty clean, you won't need anything stronger.

Good luck.

I just did my interior today. I used a foam car wash sponge. wet the sponge, put some cleaner on it. wring it out then wipe all over the seats. this will lather up nicely flaoting all the grime out. I wipe of the seats with atowel then rinse with a clean wash cloth. after the seats are dry, I apply the conditioner with a cotton wash cloth. go over it a few times and your done.
