leather cleaner/conditioner

just had a couple questions.

what is a good applier for zaino leather cleaner? regular microfiber towel?

as for the zaino leather conditioner, is it ok to apply with bare hands? since when i use any cloth/sponge, the cloth/sponge absorbs all the conditioner.

also, i realize that the smell of the zaino leather conditioner lasts quite a while in my car and that it also gets on my clothes... is there any way to prevent the smell getting on my clothes?

Some use a microfiber pad, which would probably work similar to your microfiber towel though. Some do prefer applying with their hands, but I think that puts down a bit too much oil onto the leather. I usually use a foam appliactor pad, something simple like:

You could try going in naked...

Anyways, I guess Zaino is like that, I've never used it, so I duno how the smell works, but I can't help you on that part.

I usually do use a MF towel for applying my cleaner/conditioner.
Sorry to jacked these post but since you guys are talking about the leather seats, I want to ask you pros in here. I have a minor cut in my leather seat for approx. 5cm and just want an opinion on what shall I take to prevent it for getting longer? Any opinions?
