Leather Care
Hi Everyone,
How can I keep the leather on the steering wheel and seats from becoming shiny over time. Ive never been successful at this, and Im hoping I can minimize this in my new baby I really like the super flat, matt, look. |

Get Zaino Z9 and Z10. They produce the matte look you want, and they don't make the leather slippery. You can order it from www.zainostore.com

I've used (very recently) BMW's branded leather conditioner. it's a lotion, not a foam, though.
I don't think it's going to produce a matte look though. It makes it sort of a semi-gloss/wet look, without being truly shiny. It smells/feels great though! |

The wheel is tough because the oils from your hands and the friction from gripping and turning the wheel causes the leather to shine. Gloves will help.
