I ordered the Zaino brothers kit and recieved it today. I only cleaned the front seats with the cleaner because i just got home from work. I was interested in the smell of it because the reviews say it smells great. So a couple of quick shots of the leather in a bottle and...wow, thats no joke! Smells like the all leather stores in the mall. It does have a chemical smell to it but thats what it is. When i put it on i was really looking for a chemical smell so that might be why i picked up on it, but others not knowing what it is might not. And of course it supposed to rain on my days off so I'll have to wait on the exterior.

Wait until you use the conditioner, it smells even better than the cleaner. I just picked up my Rugged Brown Summit last night and hit the dash and seats with the leather conditioner. The leather was very dry and sucked the conditioner right in so I did two coats and it really deepened the saddle color. It was a liitle rough to the touch and almost faded from sitting out in the sun at the dealer lot but the zaino leather in a bottle brought it back.

I also went over the dealer detail with the Z-6 spray and it's great stuff too. I haven't tried the Z-8 spray but have it waiting to go after a clay bar and z-2 double wax this weekend.

Thats probably a matter of opinion. Website pictures looked good,but its the internet so who knows. Ive only read great reviews and last time i went to parts america i ended up spending more then i did on the kit and i didnt end up getting all the types of cleaners the kit has so i figured it was worth a shot.

Ok, going to give zaino a shot but they have a lot of products! Can anyone give suggestions on what to get for a first time clay bar process? I see they have an ultimate package but I don't want to buy stuff I won't use. I'll get it if someone confirms it's all useful in the process though. Any suggestions?

I've been using Zaino on my truck for 3 years and it is good. My problem is it's so good it shows any boo-boos in the body and paint, but they warn you of that at their website.

I washed the WK2 then clay bar'd w/good detail spray. After wiping it down good, I applied Maguire's new polymer sealer to initially protect the paint since the dealer hadn't taken very good care of it...found some old bird crap on the paint that hadn't been washed off good for who knows how long. Everything rubbed clean before waxing.
I'll do it again soon then take pics.

Zaino is excellent stuff and stupidly good value for money.

I used to do Z-5 PRO x3, z-2 PRO x3 then the occasional Z-8 wipe down and was never disappointed. One of only a few products that make silver look wet and really deep.

I used the Zaino polishes "Z5, Z2" on my black Srt8 and it made the paint looked as if it were wrapped in cellophane. I since moved away from their polishes wanting a deeper darker warm look to my paint I used Blackfire wet diamond sealant and it was what I was looking for. I do how ever still use their sprays "Z6, Z8" and their leather cleaner and leather in a bottle, their detail sprays are the best out there leaving the finish slick and glossy.
