Zymol leather conditioner

Get the Z509; pretty easy to find (and great smell)

As far as leather cleaner - the Porsche Leather Cleaner available at your Porsche dealer is the best there is.



Not another brand in the mix

Have you tried the Porsche Leather Conditioner?

Thanks. I really want to use something soon, just feel the need to protect it. Seems to be a few choices on the market with maybe no definitive choice.

I have not, but I have tried many others and the Sonus is the only one that does not make the leather shiny - it just looks like when it was first brand new.

I rarely need to clean my leather interior, but when I occasionally do, the Porsche Leather Cleaner works very well, quickly, and it does not leave a mark, even on Natural leather.

Griots speed shine and especially the waterless car wash spray <for quick clean ups> are what I use. I also use Griots glass wipes. I just ordered a box.

100%

Here's a BIG tip. Go to Wal-Mart and buy a standard sprayer in the home cleaning section. They mist a lot finer than the Griot's sprayers do. Over time you save a lot of product - and money too, with no sacrifice in performance.

I like Home Depot professional spray bottles. I think they also come with a liftime warranty.
For glass cleaner it's Stoner's Invisable glass and nothing but Stoners. I like the aerosol and not the spray bottle.

Late, I know


Yes this is an old post, but I was looking at the GG stuff as well, my local Porsche dealer sells it.
I've been using Zymol for their wax products and like them alot, but was wondering if there was anything better. So, I'm looking at GG and Wolfgang, I do like the Zymol and Wolfgang's stuff because it won't discolor the plastic, wondering id GG would?
I'm going to try the leather conditioner because I hear it smell like........leather.

I've been using GG products for years now...Just came across some popular GG products at Advance Auto Parts: Best of show wax, interior cleaner...etc. Looks like they are broadening their distribution. Don't have to pay for shipping so that's good news!

I didn't need anything yet (I'm well stocked for now!) so I didn't compare the prices to see if it is different than the catalog.

If you're ever up in the Tacoma, WA area, do yourself a favor and visit the actual Griot's Garage store located at the old Coca Cola plant. LOTS of stuff, and they'll ship it for no charge and no tax. They even have a small collection of cars in the back (including some P-cars) and a double detail bay to use. Great people at the counter to deal with and answer any questions, but bring your wallet, because you WILL want to buy product. I walked out about $160.00 lighter.

Their stuff is just ok. There's a lot better stuff from other companies.

If ten is best in the world, I give them a 7.5 in terms of quality.
Problem is that it is impossible to piecemeal and find 7.5 stuff all in one place. As far as convenience they get a 10, personally, I use 90% their stuff and am happy with it.
