I don't know about best as I don't have much experience in the area... but I have some of the Zaino leather cleaner and leather conditioner (I forget the numbers). I have used it once and it was easy to put on take off and seem to do a good job. It came in one of the Zaino kits.

I am sure there are many other good brands as well... some that I have heard thrown around are Zymol, Mother's, Griots, ...

I have never come across anything as good as "Leatherique".

gtaday51 · 03-25-2009, 10:25 PM

My dad always used a combo of mothers and saddle soap. I do remember that much.

BSM 135i · 03-25-2009, 11:06 PM

so i did a search on e90 post and it seems that most are using Zaino Z9/Z10 anyone over here using it? what do you think?

I just used Zaino Z9/Z10 on the seats for the very first time. It seemed to do a good job. Easy to put on, easy to take off, smells great. but the seats are pretty new so I dunno yet.

So far so good.

I have Zaino as well and have used it once, and found it easy... just don't apply it with paper towels unless you want to have to wipe the lint off afterwards (i know, it was stupid).

You could also look at what the guys who post the detailing threads with specific cars (FMinus, Detailers Domain, etc). I am sure they know what they are doing and use high quality stuff. I think I saw leather master in one of the thread, but just go check.

+1. Another Lexol user here too. Seems to do a nice job and I've been using it on all my leather for quite some time - BMW, Volvo, Cadillac, etc. Also found that it does well with leather jackets, etc. too.

just ordered some Z-9 and Z-10, can't wait to use them and see what all this hype is about!

Leatherique and Leather Master are the two best kits out there imo.

pit1 · 03-30-2009, 03:11 PM

Lexol here... Used in on many BMW and Audi. Cleaner does a great job on the Coral, safe, and brightens it up wiping away all denim or dirt residue. Conditioner softens things up and smells good too, although leaves a film for a day or two. I'm content but all ears for other recommendations as well.

Specifically, I've noticed my rear headrests and seatback top are getting a bit dried from the sun. I need to bit the bullet on tints back there.
