im contemplating of getting these...because i think they smell alright..

i head the swissvax leather milk does not have any smell... which is something i dont want...although i heard good things about SV

reviews on the Z9 and Z10 please from the experts here..

thanks alot

i'm not an expert, but i've used Z9/Z10 for about 3 years. i've recently been using zymol leather cleaner (instead of Z9) followed by zaino leather in a bottle. no cracking. no drying. no slimy, over shiny surfaces. and, i love the leather smell. a lot of people who ride in my car comment on how it smells "new".

I haven't found too many great leather cleaners, but I love the Z10 Conditioner. It looks great, not slick or shiny, just a nice dull sheen and it smells great.

how do you guys use it?

we are not suppose to leave the Z9 to dry right? need to wipe it off after applying?

and the Z10...just leave it to dry...

am i right? i was told to apply the z10 by hand..is that true

Where did you hear all that?

I apply both with a MF cloth and I've let both dry. With the Z9 I try to really scrub it in as best I can, but with Z10, I just use it like a lotion.

ditto.

Never tried applying by hand... you could use a brand new foam tire swipe thing. Like what you dress your tires with but clean obviously, never used. It absorbs less of the Z10 and you can really be consistent with its application. Otherwise MF cloth or applicator is fine.

If you have the time leatherique (hand application) is really really really nice too. Much more intensive cleaning and conditioning IMO.

i applied it with hand.... works well... better than using microfibre...

im in love with this product.... this is the first time i am using it..

although i dont think it smells like new leather... very artificial chemical smell imho...

Straight from the Zaino site...

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Apply Z-9 one section at a time and work the solution into a nice lather with a sponge. If your leather is heavily soiled, use an upholstery (interior detailing) brush.

When finished scrubbing, be sure to remove all cleaner from the surface with a damp towel.

Do not use an excessive amount or allow cleaner to dry without wiping.

Dry the leather with a clean, dry cotton towel.

Allow your leather to dry thoroughly before applying Z-10.
