3LT owners, what are you using for leather cleaner?
Just got my adam's exterior wash products in the mail today and eagerly waiting to give the c7 its first wash. However I forgot to order the interior cleaner! But before I do I want to know what everyone else is using.
I hate slippery glossy finishes . I'd like the leather to retain as much of the flat sheen as possible.

ZAINO leather in a bottle. Leather looks and feels great. Smell is the reason you will keep using it.

I use a microfiber towel dampened with either filtered water or, if the seat is slightly soiled, a rinseless wash diluted to quick detailer strength. If the seat is more heavily soiled, I'll use a properly diluted, leather safe all-purpose-cleaner such as Optimum Power Clean.

Although some will say just use water etc, here is my experiance with the cleaner.
My wife has a top of the line BMW SUV with white leather interior. Her new Jeans stained the side seat bolster. She tried her normal cleaners and they were of little help. She asked what I was using on the Vette. Very surprising since never thought she woul ask me about cleaning anything as I am not a neat freak- she is!
I have never had a stain on my 28 month old C7 interior but bought Zaino products because I use and like them for the outside. That ~$10 bottle of Zaino cleaner removed the Jean stain in short order. Followed with the conditioner. I was a cleaning hero, very unusual!
My Jeans don't stain my Kalahari leather 3LT. In fairness my Jeans are all well worn! Have used both several times and as I said, guess I like the smell !

I use Zaino cleaner and conditioner as well. Reasonable price and I also like the smell!
