Zaino Z-10 Leather in a Bottle

Good gawd that stuff smells GOOD!!!!!!

I got to try the Z-10 out for the first time this Monday. I usually use the Meg's Gold Class or Medallion leather cleaner / conditioners for one steps and the Lexol products for two steps (separate cleaner and conditioner). A client with a Mercury Marauder had me use Zaino products for his detail and since I did not have any Z-10 he supplied it and I was very impressed...so much so I got home and ordered some.

I cleaned his leather (wasn't very dirty at all) with a light mix of Meg's APC diluted 10:1. After I dried the surfaces I applied the Z-10 with a terry applicator. It goes on smoothly and is easy to spread an even, thin coat on the leather. It leaves a nice low gloss sheen that isn't the slightest bit greasy or oily. The smell though...my goodness. It reminds me of an old baseball mitt or a well seasoned leather bomber jacket. They were not kidding when they say "Leather in a Bottle"!! I will use the Z-10 on my personal vehicles and my clients with high end vehicles with that have leather interiors (three that immediately come to mind are an '03 BMW 745Li, '05 BMW 645Ci and '02 Maserati Cambiocorsa coupe). I think the low sheen and that scrumptious smell will compliment them well.

Another great product from Zaino. I still can't get over myself saying that.

You really should give every item in the Zaino line-up a try. No disappointments.

The leather cleaner is equally as good as the conditioner (same great smell).

i must disagree. i found the zaino leather smell foul to say the least. to me it smelled nothing like leather. i love all the other zaino products, but this one smelled bad!

That is the first and only time I have ever heard that statement.

Me too!

Everyone one I talk to puts this stuff at the TOP of their leather conditioner arsenal.

I'll try it...someday

Well, my bottle of Z10 arrived today, I have yet to put it on my car, but boy is it a fantastic smell. Applied some to the leather couch to see how it went and it is looking great. Will definatly be applying this to my vehicle over the weekend.

I aslo got the tire stuff (they both arrived together) I am hoping for great things from the Z16, as I have yet to find a tire treatment that works, and lasts for more than a couple of days.

I have tried about every Zaino product at one point or another and they are all great. I not crazy about their clay but everything else is top shelf

Also love Z10. I have been using it for a while for all my daily drivers with leather.

The aroma is so nice and receives so many compliments (new car leather smell) that I always leave the applicator that I use to apply Z10 in one of the door pockets. Z10 air freshener.

I also rotate every 2 weeks a seat which I will condition so that the aroma is rejuveniated more frequently at the same time each seat is condition approximately every 6 weeks. The way I keep track of which seat is next is by placing the "Z10 air fresher" in the pocket next to the seat due next for some TLC.

I also agree that Z-10 smells great! The best leather cleaner and conditioner I have used. If you wanted to talk about something that smells bad...try Lexol.

I also love that z10 smell! That is a great tip blkZ28Conv to keep the smell all year round, as well as a regular schedule for reconditioning.
Cheers!
