Quoted from picus....

"As you can see one of the benefits of leatherette is you can pretty much use anything to clean it. Automotive soap and water is a good cleaner if you get a stain or just want to clean it up. Z9/Z10 are good for maintenance, or you can even use 303 aerospace protectant (since it's vinyl)."

yeah but leatherette are so hard to dry it up using a towel
and using z9 and z10 they will left some spots and it's very visbale
so i have to use water to clean it after
for the z9 i spray it on a few spots but it will stay at that spot even when i use a sponge try to rub it around...lol

How many ounces does the soap container hold? I want to use the same ratio in my sistema setup I've tried 1:5 and 1:4, soap:water with the same chemicals. I'm getting ok, foaming at 1:4 but I'm going to try 1:3 next.

1000 ml = 33.8140227oz

I did 3oz total of soap...try adding warm water, and shaking it really well once you get it screwed on...

Z10 has a VERY unique smell, i doubt 303 will do the same for you when it comes to smell...you have ALOT of questions!! Also anything you read from scheerspeed, picus, Fmiuns, joyridde, or LRG no cal is about the best info you can get too!

Happy to help though!

Yeah, that foamer is no good with a pressure washer. I've seen a few people try this one with bad results. Either the Camspray or the Autobrite are good foamers.

Camspray:
