leather conditioning products

I was in the automotive industry for a short period of time. During that time a detailer would come by the dealership. He was an older gent extremely knowledgeable. Could make anything old look new.
Only thing he ever recommended to use on real lether interiors was mink oil.
I have been using it for years on british and german sports cars. The leather loves it, soaks it in. You do need to buff it or it will feel sticky, but it lasts and nothing works better.

I don't know if all leather treatments call for this, but I have had good luck letting the seats heat up a bit (park in the sun or put a light shining on them) to help open the pores of the leather up. That way when you put your leather treatment on, the leather really soaks it up.

Heat the seats... ah ha, maybe that explains it!

I'd moved the seats into the house so I could be cool and comfy as I spent lots of time time cleaning them (they were grimy.) The last thing I did was apply a conditioner my neighbor gave me, but the next morning the leather looked dry. Maybe it would work better now that the seats haven't seen anything cooler than 95 degrees. (I'm surprised they don't smell like hamburger cooking when I open the door after work! )

AND, just for S&G ya gotta check out Zymol's site.........go through ALL 7 PAGES OF paint Products....OMG .....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

"CLEAR!" as they say on TV. (According to my sister the RN who works at a hospital in East Nowhere, OK, their surgeons calmly say, "Ok, ya'll stand back now. I'm gonna shock 'em now." )
Those prices remind me of stuff on the Zaino website.

Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for that. The stuff my neighbor gave me is Eagle One and it has mink oil, lanolin & neatsfoot oil - but, to what percentages of each, I dunno.

Have always used ZYMOL cleaner and conditioner on my cars/trucks and have loved it, but a buddy talked me into trying some of the ICE crap...and was it a HUGE disappointment. I did try it on a small area in my other car before i'd even consider trying it on 'BeeVenom'. NO WAY would i use it again! Probably need to stick with what I've used for over 20 years as I know the great results! ZYMOL all the way!

I noticed there's 2 different Zymol leather conditioners...
one (Z509) for around $9
the other(301) around $31.....both 8 oz., descriptions sound really similar
Only the second one is listed on their website.

Anybody know what the difference is? (besides color and shape of bottle ) ? Maybe the first is d/c'd and the 2nd is the successor??
