Every other wash (which = every 2-3 weeks)... I use Black Magic cleaner and conditioner... kinda looking forward to it running out so I can try something else, but it works pretty good & smells okay.

No more nuts than I am. I have black leather and I like to keep it looking brand new - that requires frequent conditioning.

I also get in my car right after leaving the gym (I live like a mile away so I shower at home) and will sometimes sweat on the seat. This, of course, increases the need for regular cleaning and conditioning.

I also condition it almost weekly, trying to avoid cracks, etc. developing.

I had some Tanner's left from a previous car. While I've liked it in the past, it definately turns the Stone leather slightly darker and gives a shine/coat to it that seems more at home on a saddle. I didn't like it and tossed the bottle after testing an area.

I love the Zaino, except that it didn't seem to moisten it enough. It would look dry again within a couple of days. I'm using Meguire's now, and that seems to split the difference between the two above. Leaves the leather looking conditioned yet the same as when new. Seems to last longer than the Zaino stuff.

The leather conditioner and claybar have been the only Zaino items, from my starter pack, that I haven't liked. Very impressed with their other items.

Beware guys to only condition once a month or so... I've found out that conditioning too often will dry the leather out and make it worse.

I use lexol leather cleaner once a week,and condition once a month.
