Leather cleaner that doesn't shine

Does anyone know of a leather cleaner/conditioner that does not make the leather shiny like armoral? I have been using leather conditioner from Wilson's leather store. Is there anything wrong with this?

I wouldn't use leather cleaner for garments. It's a different kind of leather. It might eat the clear coat off the seats.

you start on the sides where there is no holes, then rub to all the other areas. then be sure to buff out.

If that is too much for you, the only real way to get around that would be spray stuff.

Ditto - Lexol cleaner does a good job and the conditioner leaves the leather looking natural...

I use Meguiars Gold Class cleaner/conditioner. The smell is not too bad, and it gives a natural finish (no greasy residue). To keep it out of the small holes I start with a very small piece of a cotton terry towel (6"X6"). Next, I saturate the towel with the conditioner and ring out the excess very well. Then I rub the rag over the surface lightly and none will get in the holes.

Additional TIP: If you happen to get some in the holes, smack the seat next to the area. This causes the air to blow the cleaner out of the holes. Or, you could probably use a Shop Vac to suck it out ???

Meguiars Gold Class cleaner/conditioner works great on black and no shine (just a nice sheen). If I do got it in a hole or two, I use a toothpick to get it out.

Anyone know where I can buy Lexol cleaner/conditioner? It's a 2-step, right?

Would like to find it in a local store so I don't have to wait, unless it's a low cheaper.

I love pinnacle cleaner & conditioner. Bought 1 gallon of each as a matter of fact. Only problem, it could be considered "shiny" or "glossy".
