Default cocoa after one year

my cocoa interior has gone thru an Ohio year, temps from under 0 to over 100 and has held up beautifully

Looks great! Are you using a leather conditioner on it?

Zaino, easy to use, smells like leather, not greasy

Looks great! Glad to hear holding up - I just got my cocoa. I'm in Texas, so some heat extremes but not much cold. Mine is a cab, so hoping will hold up to open air exposure as well. How often with the Zaino?

It looks like you're doing the right thing. How often do you treat it?

Cocoa would be my #1 choice. Glad to hear it holds up well!

Looks great.

Is cocoa one of Porsche's "natural" leathers?

Cocoa is still not one of their "natural" leathers. I believe only the Brown, Carrerra Red and Grey are naturals at this point in time.

I treat the roofliner, rear seats, sunvisors and other "non contact" areas about every 3 months, the seats, doors and dash about every 2 months. Zaino is so easy to use, --just pour on and spread, no rubbing, no buffing, no wiping dry,-- that it is never a hassle to use

Thanks.

I asked because I had read that Zaino isn't the best product for the natural leather and the OP's interior looks to be in excellent shape.

That headliner is absolutely beautiful. Whatever it cost was worth it. I will specify that on my next 911.
