anyone know if there are any treatment for the leather and other parts of the car that doesn't leave the interior all oily and shiny? I like the way my interior looks when I got it new.

Hmm..Lexol Leather Conditioner is good..no shiny thing..

But Vinylex leaves shiny dashboard...although I don't like it..i bought it and it's for protection...so oh well....

anyone know anything good product that doesn't leave any shiny look?

 

I also use Lexol leather products and it doesn't leave a shine. All it does is clean the dirt that is on the leather.

Meguiar's #42 and 303 Protectant leave a matte finish when dry. I hate the greasy kid stuff also.

 

I just used my recently ordered Zaino Brothers leather cleaner and conditioner for the first time. It wasn't cheap (especially with $5 for shipping), but it works wonders on the leather. Unlike most leather care products, it was actually quite easy to apply and did not require any extra buffing like the thicker pastes do.

One of the reasons I went with Zaino Brothers is because it is also vinyl safe, and since we do have some vinyl in our seats, I figured it was worth the extra few bucks to get something that wouldn't destroy the vinyl.

 

The leather cleaner & conditioner is fine to use on vinyl. Its the otherway around thats bad we can't use vinyl stuff on leather. If some leather stuff gets on our vinyl it won't hurt it.

 

I've haven't used their stuff yet, but I heard alot of good things about http://www.griotsgarage.com/

Yep, Lexol cleaner and protectant work very well, Vinylex is a good cleaner, but I like a matte finish so I follow it with 303.

 

Does anyone know the type of leather that's on the TL? Vat-dyed or spray-on dyed leather?

Where did you read about two different leather dye processes?
