Use on all leather. If you're in Florida you may have to treat it at least twice a year.

I have a two-tone black/grey full leather interior. I've been using the Sonus products and have generally been happy with them, I like the grippy matte finish the treatment product seems to leave on the leather.

I tried the Sonus on the red leather furniture in my den and while I like the ease of application compared to other products (eg Glym), I don't care for the feel on household furniture.

It's difficult for me to assess how effective the Sonus products are in "caring for the leather" over the long term because my car is fairly new. But I can say that the Sonus leather treatment does not seem to keep the leather looking "treated" for nearly as long as the Glym or other brands on household furniture.

So, I guess it's a trade-off. For me, I prefer the grippy-feel of the Sonus vs Glym in the Porsche, but also like the durability and have a sense that the Glym treatment is actually "better" for the condition of the leather.

By all means, use your leather treatment of choice on all surfaces in your interior, including the dash.

PB,

I agree with you on Sonus leather products. I bought some when I had my 996 which had suple leather. Quite frankly, I was underwhelmed with the results. While I like the non-slippery finish, it did not seem to do much for the leather for any period of time.

Zaino Leather Soft Spray Cleaner Z-9 and Zaino Leather in a Bottle Z-10 is all I'll use. As effective for treating leather properly and as intoxicating as anything out there. I love the smell of it too - like new leather, after an application.

Ive also had good results with the Zaino Z10, i also use leatherique which is awesome especially on old untreated leather.

Ditto. Very pleased with the results...I treat my hides several times a year.

Just found this thread in my search for hide food for my leather dash. Dealer suggested this might eliminate the creaking noise I have in my dash near the left dash speaker. Does the Zaino 10 "feed" the leather? Has anyone compared it with Connolly hide food?

PS: I have stone gray (coated) leather.
