By all accounts over at Detailing World, Dr Leather is about as good as it gets. I've just bought some, shall be trying it on Thursday! Will take plenty of photos.

I clean with old Lexol Leather Cleaner. Easy on and off, buff if you
want. No residual smell. And it is sold everywhere.

Gliptone !!! If you hate shiny leather and would like to get it back to like new matte condition, you have to try it.

Are you asking about my reply? If so, I
follow the cleaner with Lexol Conditioner.

I also got some Auto Finesse Spritz dashboard spray, which has a matt finish, is anti static and has uv protection.

After:

Oh and a couple from my phone camera just to show its no trickery

This was after having driven it for 30 minutes too (so some grease from my hands

)

The difference to the steering wheel in particular is staggering, so much nicer to hold.

Took a few hours to do everything, but it is unbelievably better. Also, the smell is amazing, really leathery mixed with the amazing scent of the spritz, car feels like new inside to me now

I just got some new stuff from Sonax called Leather Foam. It is so easy to apply and really doesn't leave any residue at all. The leather is nice and matte.
