Thats great, caring for the slk is one of my top priorities and I do that with the help of these fine products:

Meguiars gold class rich leather cleaner/conditioner

Sonax leather cream

Sonax Shampoo

Prestone interior cleaner for carpets

Meguiars quick detailer after I've placed the shampoo and dried the car, helps remove water spots.

Have you tried Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer yet? Looks even better and more "hydrophobic" than the old QD.

(Unfortunately my QD collection is almost as large as my wax collection)

Yes you can use UQD over Zaino. Just make sure that any QD you use does NOT include alcohol which may remove your LSP (last step product)

I believe Zaino's QD product is Z-6. Z-8 is another QD type product used for xtra gloss or "zing"... (however, I personally am not a fan of Zaino products and think that there are many fantastic alternatives)
