Nappa Leather Treatment!

[lofrese1]

Hi guys I was just wondering who else had the experience with Nappa leather. This is my first car with this type of leather. I was wondering what products to you use on Nappa Leather. Conditioners cleaners etc... Thanks

Zaino leather cleaner and leather in a bottle is my favorite leather treatment, it is gentle but removes jean dye transfer and have even been able to get ball point pen off leather with it.

The conditioner keeps the leather soft and smells amazing and leaves no oily residue or sheen - the best I have run into so far. I think Leatherique and Adams are decent also, just buy something better than Lexol - I used that 15 years ago and glad I found better stuff!

I use chemical bros. cleaner and conditioner on my ivory Napa. I keep the cleaner along with a few towels in the trunk in case of an accident.

I've used and liked Leathermasters on every kind of leather I have had in a BMW from Dakota to Nappa.

On my M3 (Merino Leather) I used the strong cleaner, then barrier, then leather vital. I hit the leather with Vital monthly.

I used to use Zaino religiously, but then I found this:

By far the best leather treatment I've ever used. It does darken the Nappa a bit (I have mocha), but after a few days it lightens back up. Only need to apply it 2-3 times/year whereas I was using Zaino monthly. One caveat... I do not use it on the leather dash. For that, I still use zaino. But since it doesn't see any action on it, I only apply once every 3 months.

Thanks everyone that got back to me on the cleaners and conditioners! I ended up ordering Zaino Z-9 leather cleaner & Z-10 leather in the bottle. I checked the reviews and seen some before and after photos it seems like they make pretty solid products. Thanks again guys!

Plus one for the Zaino. every time I put it on my car I feel like I walked into a leather factory....my wife loves the smell too in her Q5.

The dealer actually asked me once how my car could smell like new after 4 years when I was dropping it for service! Great stuff!
