Default Silk Nappa Treatment

Hello All,

I used to use Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner on my Acura's but I don't want the shine on my Nappa leather. Just wondering what others are using, I'm looking for suggestions =)

No gloss finish would be nice... I'm starting to see creases that I want to treat early.

Make sure you use products designed for that type of leather. One is the leather masters system. It did not leave any shine on my leather and worked well on my B7 with 6 years on the leather. It looked brand new!

Lexol products work well. They have a general purpose cleaner(blue bottle) to be used basically if your leather is dirty. Follow that up with a conditioner(brown bottle) which conditions the leather and keeps it subtle. Not shiny. They also make a 3 in 1 cleaner/conditioner/protectant (gold and black bottle but different size and shape than the other Lexol products)that is made specifically for automotive use. All work well. Lately, I have been using the automotive type and not unhappy with it.

The Zaino leather products work really well with the full leather seats in this car.

I've used Meguiar's, Lexol, Leather Master (Audi OEM) and Griot's Garage over the years and now much prefer Zaino. Works well (and a little goes a long way), matte finish and smells great.
