I've been using both products for about three years, and am very pleased.:up
The key to the cleaner is to work it in good. I use a soft brush to get into all the nooks and crannys.
I get the best results by rinsing the cleaner off with a lot of warm water on a chenille-coverd sponge. Then dry it real well, and apply the conditioner.
I usually put the conditioner on, let it sit for about 5 minutes, and then wipe off.
I condition mine about once a month, and clean it 3 times a year.

I have the duo, got it for $15 shipped from eBay. Its like an orange colored cleaner and a beige condtioner. I used it once. It was ok, its cleaned the leather really well and the conditioner made the seats soft and like new with a slight chemical odor.
This is the only leather stuff I tried so I can't base it on much, I suppose EO's leather cleaner/condtioner should perform a tad better (on my list of things to try, only $10 for it, the cleaner and the protectant!)
This Zymol cleaner/conditioner is geared toward the SUV owners, hence the cheaper product. I think the Zymol upper class leather stuff is called Treat. E-mailed the Zymol people and they said the Treat would be better sutied for the cars I detail (BMW's and MB's.)
But for now, I got almost 2 full bottles sitting their in the box and only used once.

Well reading the package, Mfg. for Zymol Chicago, IL.....leads me to believe its made by TW for Zymol. I think it has to do with quality. Cheaper materials here and there, then market it towards another consumer group, this being SUV because generally SUV owners have a lower expectation for a product because its just a SUV, hauls stuff around.
Personally I wouldn't let this product go near my prized vette (even if I had one.) but for a daily driver/commute car, it should do well.
Technique matters too, gotta use one of those brushes and the cleaner to throughly clean the seats, then heat the seats to condition it.
The Treat that Zymol makes probably uses better ingrediants (hence the higher price tag) but with Zymol just don't know.
Hope I answered you're question, I don't think I did,

Get a rotary and some wool pads along with some Mirka discs and you will really be able to dial it in :spy:

IID,
Thats a beautiful bird there! Super low miles too. I do a LOT of fbodies, so here's my recommendation. M105 with LC PFW to get the deepest stuff and level the paint a bit, Follow that with Menzerna SIP on LC orange, the Menzerna 106FA on LC black. If you really want to amp up the gloss, some Menzerna 85RD on LC gold. BFWD also looks great on black so I'd go with that.
The 105/205 works good on Fbody clears, but the 105/SIP combo works better, cutting more and finishing down better.
