Default So I Zaino'd my car today...wow

Love that smell! I know there are those that think it's too strong. Even my wife likes it. But dang my seats are slick now. Like a new car. And whoever told me to get the brush was a genius. Really gets the dirt out. Had no idea how much was in there after 5 years. Gotta say, great product. I'm sure there are other products that are just as good, if not better, but it's the smell that l love now.

Glad it worked well for you. Wanted to confirm that you are only commenting about your seats. My concern about some these cleaners is that the seats lose their matte finish and turn shiny. How did Zaino perform in that regard?

Seats only, correct. And I’ll try and take some pics. I don’t think they look shiny though.

You're welcome. It's all about the brush. Especially with perforated leather.

I have never used Zaino, but of the products I have tried, Leatherique is the only one that maintains the new car matte finish. Or as close to matte as can be had on a car that is a few years old.

I like the smell of leather in a car, so I have some interest in learning about the results with Zaino...I would not trade the leather finish for leather smell though.

I used to love zaino and other leather cleaning/conditioning products...however it will eventually turn things shiny which is why i have switched to using water and a very small amount of detergent to get the grease off the surface. then i wipe off with a semi damp only water wet towel. this seems to do the best at keeping things clean and super matte looking without any shine...i hate shiny leather lol.

when i was shopping for my s8 i saw one that looked great from pictures but didnt have any interior pictures with low low miles. it was about 2 hours away from me so i went to take a look at it thinking i was gonna buy it...when i got there i swear they put armorall on every piece of leather or plastic in the car. the dealer actually put it on there lol...what a shame.
