Question What should I use on my leather?

I bought my car in June and I havent down anything to the seats since I bought it. I was wondering if there is some kind of treatment I should be doing, or armor-allish type stuff I should on them. Im pretty sure im supposed to be doing something to help preserve the leather...

Any suggestions?

Use a two step leather and conditioner, Z-9 Leather Soft cleaner and Z-10 Conditioner are the Zaino leather products. Avoid single step combined leather cleaners and conditioners for best results, better to have two steps....

I've done a whole heck of a lot of research here and elsewhere on the subject of leather conditioning.

From what I've gathered thus far, leatherique ( www.leatherique.com ) is by far the best stuff out there.

Then again it's also the most expensive and the most time consuming to apply.

So here's my theory: Use leatherique conditioner and cleaner once per year during the summer time (the heat from the sun keeps you from needing to use a space heater or other methods of heating the inside of your car)... follow the instructions 100%.. no cutting corners

Then use Z10 conditioner in between about once every couple of months to keep things nice.

MY 2 cents
My leather was severly neglected by the
previous owner. It would instantly absorb
conditioner, I couldn't even spread it.
I would get 2 applications per Z10 per bottle
so I started using stuff I could get locally
until I got it back in shape, applying 2-3 time
a week. Used them all. Nothing did more
or faster than Blue Magic Lether Creme Conditioner.
Even has sunblock-like Z10
I noticed a big difference in 2 weeks.

I doubt I'm going back to Z9/10
