I fully clean the surface of the leather seats with Z9 then apply Z10. Z9 is a cleaner; Z10 is a leather treatment.

It's almost like washing your car before you polish it. You don't polish over a dirty surface.

How often do you do it Call? And do you use a sponge to clean like the instructions suggest or something else?

You have to understand I am a detail freak because I love doing it and I take the time because it is good mentally for me...I get away from everything when I detail my cars...I refuse to talk to anyone in person or on the phone, no radio, tv...it's MY TIME and I take it very serious...have for years.

I take the attitude about cleaning my cars about the same way I take a bath...I wash/clean everything, inside and out. But detailing a car doesn't have to include the same steps everytime...if you do it right in the beginning.
Subsequent detailings are to enhance what you did the time before and should take less time and effort with each subsequent detail.

So to answer your question about the leather...It's actually cleaned and treated every week because my ONE is a DD. Whereas my other cars often aren't driven more than once or twice a month. If your ONE is a DD...just think about getting in & out as often as you have to, rubbing that leather, dragging crap across the surface or dropping things & the heat it has to go thru during the summer months...it gets dirty, it starts to dry out...it needs that deep drink of cleaning/treating to keep it looking supple and not cracking.

I do not use sponges for anything. I really like very high quality microfiber towels and usually go thru six towels to detail the interior.

If it's not a DD then clean/treat your interior at least every four to six weeks depending on how you store your car and the time of year it may be.

Quantity is relative but lets just say using each very sparely...a little goes a long way.

Z10 is so good.... Enjoy it!

Just treated my interior at least week with Poorboys!

My interior is looking new thanks to this product. All the plastics look much darker and richer. An excellent product, and it smells great too!!
