Default Stain on Z06 leather

Wife took the Z06 to a wedding shower. She put the present on the passenger seat and when she got there, took the present off the seat and it left a nice paper stain from all four corners of the package That stuff is stuck on there good. I've tried all my usual leather cleaners. Any ideas? Thanks a ton!

What is a paper stain? Any pics? Did you try Zaino Z9 spray Leather Cleaner? The only other thing I might try would be leatherique.

Ah, it's like the some of the print from the paper got stuck on the leather. Haven't tried any Zaino.

I would spray it with the Z9 or a similiar product and let it sit for a minute or two and then it should come right off. The leather on the Z seats is coated and there is no reason something like that should stain it. You will love the Zaino Z9 and Z10 anyway. It smells just like leather. I even use it in my house on my Leather Couch, it makes my entire house smell great. It is also loaded with a lot of great leather preservatives that are really good for your seats and will protect them from future incidents.

I tried a bunch of different leather products like Lexol, Adams, Meguiars and even quite a few they sell strictly for furniture and none of them compared to Zaino IMHO. I do love Leatherique for deep conditioning. I usually use Leatherique twice a year and Zaino Z9 and Z10 monthly. I just use Z9 and Z10 on my couch. I would go broke trying to coat my entire couch with Leatherique.

Todd,

How long has the stain been on there ?

If you don't have any Z9 and would like to try some to see if it removes it just let me know. I'm pretty close to Tampa so maybe we could meet some where in between.

Mike

Hey --I finally tried Z9 and Z10 for the first time, on the C6 and on my neglected leathers on the motorcycle. Really really did a nice job, and the smell is great. I guess I'll also get rid of my Meguiars leather treatment that I'd used previously - the wife never liked the smell, though it did bring the leather a nice sheen.

The Z10 does seem much like the Griot's Garage leather product, by the way. Both have a great smell, and same texture as far as I can tell. Don't know if the prices are any different, but I think either one is a good choice, for use after the leather has already been cleaned.

All right, I'm sold. What's the easiest way to get Z9 and 10?
