Interior cleaning

What product would you use to clean the C7 leather?

I know what the owners manual states about cleaning
however there will probably come a time when a damp towel just won't do.

Since I started using Zaino for the first time when my C7 arrived, decided to try their leather products. A colleague at work with a C6, which he parked next to my C6, always looked better! He was a dedicated Zaino user. I use a new Zaino procedure for the outside that does not require mixing. I start with Z-5 (recommended by Sal at Zaino because of my dark car color) followed immediately with Z-CS. Z-CS goes on in a few minutes with no buffing or removal.
This is my first Vette in the four I’ve owned that did not have black interior. It is a 3LT Kalahari. I used Z-9, Leather Soft Leather Cleaner where neeeded, followed by Z-10 Leather in a Bottle, Treatment, and Conditioner. Worked great, very pleased.

Zanio has an interior cleaner, they also have a leather conditioner, I used the conditioner keeps the new car smell alive. after 5 years my C6 still smelled new, I am now using it on my C7 works great.

Lexol leather cleaner, if there's soiled areas, then Voodoo leather rejuvenator.

Worked for me! Good info that everyone that asks about cleaning leather should know.

Cliff notes: You are not cleaning leather, even if you think you are.

I believe our leather is vinyl coated, at least on the seats, so I just use 409.

Don't think conditioner can get past the coating, but I am sure I will find out shortly.
