Can I find it on a shelf somewhere or do I need to order it?

Oreillys, autozone, walmart. Buy the cleaner and conditoner and a one of those finger nail brushes they usually have at the front of Oreillys. Soft enough for nails soft enough for leather. LOL I agitate the product on the leather with this brush and wipe off with a clean cloth( white so you can see the dirt). You will need to a bucket of water as well. Spray product, dip nal brush in bucket, scrub scrub scrub lightly, wipe off with clean damp towel. The conditoner is simple.

I may take you up on that sometime when I can figure out a free weekend. I'll include beers in my payment.

Dan, Sounds like a good plan and will be well worth the time spent. By hand sucks, the porter should really help out. I will be doing the same in December on my car, I've been eyeing a porter cable & looking for a black friday deal. I will do the same stages with Wolfgang swirl/polish/sealer.

The Porter Cable helps tremendously. I can't image doing a swirl remover compound without it. It still takes some time and can tire you out controlling the machine but sure as hell beats doing it by hand.

Take some pictures and post them when you finish! I did something similar (no paint correction and polish) not too long ago and water still just runs off the car. Good products make a world of difference. Good luck and get the Advil ready!

A deeper shine use caranuba, for a longer lasting shine use synthtic wax.

FYI, the Zaino shouldn't be applied with your PC but rather by hand. All directions say so for their stuff. For your correction steps, yeah, use the PC... but not for the Zaino.
