Product: Zaino Z10 Leather in a Bottle





Price & Price Per Ounce: $10.95/8oz. ; $1.37/oz.





Manufacturer Claims:



One whiff and you'll agree... It's Leather in a Bottleâ„¢!



Two years in the making and already rated number one in the industry. Z-10 Leather in a Bottleâ„¢ Treatment and Conditioner contains a perfectly balanced, solvent-free blend of special oils and other natural conditioners. Z-10 Leather in a Bottleâ„¢ penetrates and preserves all fine leathers for years of beautiful service.



We also added Ultra-Gardâ„¢ for total protection from the sun, and our exclusive real leather oil concentrate for a rich leather scent. After just one use, your car will have that great new leather smell again.



Z-10 Leather in a Bottleâ„¢ leaves a non-sticky, greaseless, stain repelling, natural luster and restores the supple feel and smell of new leather. Does a great job on vinyl interiors and dashboards too. One whiff and you will agree its Leather in a Bottleâ„¢. We believe this product has no equal in the world.





Packaging: Simple, Zaino bottle with flip-top. Bottle is very strong, yet easy to squeeze. The directions are clear and concise.





Color/Scent/Viscosity: A strong leather scent in the form of a lotiony like liquid.





How I used (as per instructions): If dirty, clean with Z9.



If not dirty, apply directly to MF applicator (quarter sized per 2'x2' area), then apply to leather, vinyl, or plastic surface. Product went on very easily without any streaking on leather or vinyl. I let it dry for 10 minutes and returned to review.





Overall Thoughts: It left a deeper, darker sheen than any product I've used. My leather is not great and tends to look dry. This product allowed it to look brand new with a touch of sheen. It felt soft and smooth, not grabby or slick. The leather smell is as strong as some fresheners I've used. Hint hint: Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.





Other Notes: I used about 3/4 ounce for my entire interior (F+R leather seats; vinyl dash and plastic paneling). Repeat every 2 months for daily drivers, 3-4 for garage queens.

Any questions, feel free.
 
Nice review.



Z9 and Z10 are two of my absolute favorite products. I just recently rejuvinated my beloved (and expensive) soft leather EZ chair and ottoman in my TV room and then went out and did the seats (very light gray, alsmost white) in my Audi S4. Great results visually, by feel and by smell! So EASY to use as well. :clap:
 
They are my go-to leather products on my cars. I am looking forward to trying out Poorboy's product, which I believe just came in today over at Poorboys. It's gonna have to be damn good to beat the Z-twins but the PB's product is a cleaner/conditioner in one. We'll see how it stacks up.

From my experience with it it does vaguely smell like leather. I was a little disappointed since others raved about the smell. That aside it does do a nice job on leather.
 
so its nice then?? never been to a coach store?



i used some stuff once and people were like...ugg whats that smell?? took weeks to lose that nasty smell lol
 
Lou: I thought it resembled real leather very closely...like I said above, maybe a touch stronger, but the scent is there.



Steve: Or a leather couch/jacket. I, personally, don't think it smells bad. My girlfriend is a big Coach fan and she loved the smell of it. Others, she had me remove immediately (those pinetree air freshners, scented leather).
 
??? Gee I responded after Sean posted his review but it seems to have been deleted....nothing controversial, I just said I agreed and that this is one of my favorites.
 
Excellent Review. :bow



I have been using Z10 and Z9 for years. Does it smell like automotive leather. Yes!!! The comment I get all the time is that my vehicles smells and looks like a brand-new leather interior. How do you do it??



Frequent cleaning (Z9) and conditioning with Zaino Z10 Leather-in-a-Bottle. :clap:
 
Looking good Sean, nice review :xyxthumbs



Does the Zaino leather treatments work for vinyl coated leathers too? Or are the properties in the leather conditioner best left for uncoated leathers like in Mercedes, BMW, etc...



How effective or strong is the cleaner on dirtier leathers compared to other dedicated cleaners out there like from 1Z, Autoglym, Sonus, Lexol, etc...? This question goes for anyone.



Are there any leather types that you shouldn't use them on?
 
Lee: You got me? No idea.





z28: The Z9 (used in other applications) worked out pretty well. It has a nice smell to it as well.





Seth: It says vinyl or leather. I used it on plastic as well. No problems at all whatsoever. It drys completely which I like...No greasy or moistness. I will give it a shot on some uncoated stuff sometime this week (shoes, couch) and post back.



I haven't given the cleaner a sufficient shot yet so I can't really say yet. All I can say is that it smells nice :) and worked nicely on very lightly soiled pieces (but then again, what doesn't).
 
Lee, I know what you mean. I had an instance of something like that happen to me today as well. Luckily, the post did materialize.
 
I have been using it since March, its a excellent product best conditioner I have used. Alternate between this and the 1Z leathercare when I want to clean and condition, then the Z10 just to condition.



The bottle seems quite smelly! but when applied it just leaves the new car smell. Best of all it leaves the leather looking great but not greasy or slimy, just a nice clean new factory look. A little also seems to go a long way.
 
I love the smell and conditioning of Z10 but the leather in my car soaks up conditioner. I use a combination of Lexol conditioner (which if you buy by the the gallon is quite cheap!) and Z10. The lexol conditions much like Z10 (no residue left behind but keeps leather soft) but it lacks any significant odor. I find by using a bit of each of them I can make my bottle of Z10 last 6 months instead 2. Leather looks and feels great, car smells good and I can get away with only placing an order to Sal once a year (or until my Z7 car wash stock runs out ;) ).
