Leather brush if there is such a tool?

I plan on cleaning & conditioning my leather seats in my ride I will be using z9 & z10 for that process. My question is would it be necessary to use a soft brush to agitate the cleaning product? the seats have not been cleaned in about one year so they are some what dirty! Also is there a step-by-step process on how to properly clean & condition leather?

Thanks,
Daniel

I usually use a horse hair brush. Process is vacuum, spray with cleaner, dwell, scrub, and dry with clean MF. On dirty seats, this process may have to be repeated though. After I clean I just protect with 303; wipe on wet and wipe completely dry.

Re: Leather brush if there is such a tool?

Would you recommend a different product besides Zaino? I currently use a horse hair brush on my chrome wheels do you think it would be ok on the leather after using it on the wheels?

Yea, I would just buy one for the leather. The one I have is designed for interiors, so it is probably smaller than the one you use for the wheels. As for the cleaner, it is nice to have one you can dilute depending on you soil level. I personally use Top of the Line's Deep Down cleaner. For very light soiling, you can dilute it around 1:20, and for heavier soiling I dilute it 1:10 or so.

I always recommend a 3M delicate duty scuff pad for cleaning leather.
