    Just wondering what you guys use to clean your seats. I do NOT want anything that will leave a shine. Just to take it back to its original matte like color. Over time with jeans and colors pants, the leather has darken. I use to use a product that was a liquid spray and it worked like magic but the company went out of business so I am looking for something new. Thanks!

    Do you find it leaves a shine or smell though? I have read that it leaves a smell but not sure if it was just someone being overly sensitive.

    I've been using Zaino Z9 and Z10 on my Corvettes for years and am now using it on the F430. No fake shine and no lingering odor. Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to their site so search Zaino.

    As above... I've tried a bunch of brands over the years and found zaino's leather conditioner to be the best for me.

    Really? I'm happy for you. For me, whenever I would use the Zaino Bros. leather CONDITIONER, I would have to leave the windows down on the car for a day or two parked, because IMO the odor was very strong. Not unpleasant, just strong.

    Maybe I need to try this stuff again, with a newer bottle or something.

    I am a big fan of leatherique.

    Home Page | Leatherique Restoration Products

    Talk to them, tell them what you want to do, and they'll tell you what to use, how to use it, etc. Very friendly and helpful folks. I think George is the lead guy there, but not 100% sure on the name. When you email them, they will get back to you in an instant.

    Does not leave a shine but does bring out the smell of the leather. I've used it on both my Ferrari and S2000 with the same results.
