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.

Nice review Sean. This is one of my favorite cleaners.

Very nice review. I`m still debating over 4*. Adams, & Zaino z-10 leather conditioners. I have heard bad things about lanolin based products. :detective but GSR" your leather looks rich.

[G35stilez]

Miami: I have the 4* also. It is a very good conditioner as it smells like leather and leaves the surface nice. However, the Z10 has a bit of an edge in each area.

The smell is a bit stronger and sticks around longer and it leaves a bit of a darker sheen.

Any questions, feel free.

Did you pay for this product or did Zaino send you some products for you to review on the forums? The reason I ask is that I heard though the grapevine last week that Zaino contacted you to give you free samples for you to talk about on the forums. Is this true or not?

Why would that matter? Steve sends out PB`s samples for folks to try & comment on. DP sent out a free promo earlier in the year. Last year Dwayne had a promo on 4* (which turned me on to several new products that I like), etc....

Personally, I enjoy hearing the pro`s/con`s of products, especially one`s that I`m considering or upcoming products that are new or improved. As a bonus, you`re getting a review from a Pro.

I did not recieve products from anyone to post on any forums. This is an objective review of my findings.

Please check your PMs.

Sean always reports his findings and is honest about things. Hefollows a set way to test and discribe the products. Who cares If he gets stuff for free or not I have given him stuff to review also...

[Luster]

I refuse to fight about who got what from whom!!!

I agree. "Leather in a Bottle" is a great product.

The leather in my Grand Prix, is, at best, a little hard and slick. Not soft and supple. The Zaino product solves that problem. It`s the best I`ve ever used.

Long lasting, deepens color, nice sheen (not too shiney), softens the leather and that great "new leather" smell.

Thanks for the review.

zaino was one of several reviews Sean has completed . i`m not sure it matter`s how the products were obtained, what is important to me is an unbiased review.The members who go into the archives 6 mnth`s to a year from now will only want to know the pros and cons of the product and will it work for them. the review was helpful. Thank You for taking the time.

I think it is important that anyone doing a review say if it was a new product sample or given to them by a manufacturer so that people reading can make their own decisions on the objectivity of the review whether it is from an amatuer or a "Pro" :ermm:

Andrew: I applied it to my dash (well cared for) as well as the dash and doors on my girlfriend`s Pathfinder (1995, not cared for that well). On the PF, I cleaned first with Z9. Both areas have been holding up very well and my girlfriend likes the look of Z a lot. She is not a fan of any shine, but a sheen is fine. This has a very low sheen on anything used on, the smell is still holding up well, too. For the plastic pieces, ditto the above.
