Exclamation Uh Oh...think I used Z9 wrong...

First off, I used it on my entire interior besides the carpeting. All the vinyl and leather, and plastic peices. It was great at getting dirt up. After I sprayed I spread it around and brushed it into the surfaces with a tooth brush. Then I applied Z10. But for some reason, its faded the leather a little. Its not as shiney as it was beforehand. What did I do?

I've noticed the leather in some cars seats gets "shiny" if they're used alot, ie; someone getting in and out constantly,...I have a '99 SS with neutral leather, and my drivers seat seems to get a little shine to it between cleanings.

I've used Zaino's cleaner and polish for leather, and the cleaner does work great and seems to take the shine out, but once I apply the conditioner, it has a "luster" again.

Be sure not to use too abrasive of a brush. Once, I did the shifter handle on an Olds Aurora, and it appeared to "remove"! the leather on top.

I've honestly had so-so results with Zaino's leather products. They aren't bad, but they really work best for quick touch-ups.

If you really want to get your leather back to new, set aside half a day and a chunk of change and go to www.leatherique.com and order their prestine clean and rejuvinator oil. Trust me... it's good stuff... so good I've got about a gallon and a half of it for use on my car as well as my friend's and family's cars.
