Default What should I use to protect/moisturize leather seats ?

It's getting really hot here. I think I should put some type of leather conditioner on the seats of my C5. Any recommendations ?

I have been using Zaino "Leather in a bottle".. It works really well, and leaves behind a really great leather scent.. Good stuff..

Zaino is my "go to" product too. I use Lexol cleaner to clean it first. But realize leather is treated with a polyurethane coating for durability.

The leather in a Vette is coated (finished) and should only use products designed specifically for this type of leather. Leathermasters and 1Z Einszett both offer products designed properly for finished leather.

Leather in every automobile is treated... Is the zaino product only for those who have actually skinned a cow and used untreated hide?

It's a great product..

I have a hard time calling the seats in a C5 leather compared to a Lexus, BMW or an Acura....

The main point is keeping them clean. A good solution for that is to wipe them down with a mixture of Woolite and water. (ten parts water to one part Woolite) Do that often and try to avoid the shiny goopy stuff that will attract dirt...

I always use AMMO's leather mousse. It leaves a nice matte finish and smells great. My seats still feel the same the day I got the car. Love it.
