Leather has white film on it

Even after using Zaino black leather has this whitish film on parts of it. What do I do to make it a deep rich black again?

I use their "Leather in a Bottle", I never noticed a film before. Do you let it dry overnight or in the warm sun?

Use BMW leather care products from the dealer. They are specially formulated for the matt finish super stiff leather BMW uses.

hahah touche walked into that one...K I will get the BMW leathercare. I have tried a few aftermarket leather applications all leaving a film after a few days/weeks of use. You can notice it especially in the creases of the leather.

Another question...do I need to strip the seats of previous applications before doing new one?
