Your car won't soak up any leather conditioner.... It will just come off on your pants even days later. Better off using 303 aerospace protectant for the UV protection.

Yeah, its funny that all these Zaino haters spout at the mouth without the facts. In this case, Zaino's product is very affordable compared to some of the products listed in this thread.

Aerospace 303.
I'm sure the Adams guys bank account isn't hurting too much either. Bottom line if you want a high end product you'll pay a high end price.

That doesn't agree with GM's own suggested products for the care of GM leather seats:
Cleaner:

Conditioner:

Quote from Conditioner Link above: "Leather and Vinyl Conditioner is specially formulated to replenish oils after cleaning with cleaners"
Pretty much all leather automotive interiors no matter who the auto manufacturer is are either top coated or protected leathers and the cleaning and conditioning would be pretty much the same unless they are a suede finish type leather.
I use Lexol cleaner every six months and Lexol conditioner every 3 months on all my cars that have leather seats for years. It is used by a lot of good detailers and restorers for leather seats. You must use a conditioner after using a leather cleaner. Keeps them from drying out and cracking and keeps them feeling and looking like new.

There is no "best" of any product, only the expectation of the end user.
Make a guess or a comparo, go with what works for you.

Clean it with 1:10 Woolite and water. Do nothing else to it.
If you keep leather clean, it won't dry out or deteriorate. ESPECIALLY on the Corvette Leather, because it has a coating on it anyway that won't allow any product to truly soak in.
BTW - Zaino is made by Durogloss and Adams is made by Chemical Guys. Why pay for marked up products?
Keep it simple and keep the money in your wallet.
I do like 303 for the UV protection for my daily driver, but I wouldn't need it on my Vette.

I use tap water, as GM recommends. Seems to work well. Inexpensive too.
Generally, I trust my owner's manual on questions like this. But that's my trusting nature.
