Leather Cleaner ( Non- shiney) suggestions...

Hello all,

i was reading a lot of the posts for leather cleaner and conditioners and ive seen that a lot of people suggest Zaino and a lot of people suggest Lexol.

What i am looking for is a cleaner and then a conditioner that wont leave the seats all shiney because i dont think that looks good at all.

Does anyone have suggestions or pictures to post about which leather cleaner & conditioner would leave a more matte finish?

thanks all!!!

To clean .. Woolite & water solution ... And believe it or not I use the Armorall Gel and its non-shiney .. non-greasy.

I use a gel conditioner on my perforated seats all the time .. matter of fact yesterday. I apply the gel to a M/F cloth and rub it into the cloth with my fingers then apply it to the seats. Goes on even and doesn't fill the holes.

also if your going to condition, put your car out in the sun with windows up and let the conditioner seep in the pores of the leather.

Clean w/ Woolite as posted above. Condition w/ Zaino Leather in a bottle. You wipe it on and thats it. It seeps into the leather and leaves a matte finish. Your car smells like brand new leather. I just bought another bottle of it last weekend along w/ a few other goodies

anything can be non shiny if you follow up your application with a dry microfibre cloth....i use the meguiars gold class leather wipes, and then i wipe the seats down again with a dry cloth....sometimes i do the same thing to my dash, but only if it starts to get dry looking, otherwise i just wipe it down with a dry microfiber....

Water-based products are able to permeate deep into the hide, which is essential for suppleness recovery. Upholstery leather should be routinely cleaned with a pH balanced, non-alkaline cleaner to loosen and lift grease, dirt and dust without overly drying the leather or affecting the hide’s natural pH. In addition to regular cleaning to remove abrasive debris and oils, leather requires regular replacement of its moisture (re-hydration) i.e. Iz einszett
