Leather Care...

Folks-

I'm seeking a leather condition that provides a very slight shine after treatment, much like a natural patina, but without waiting years for it to develop. I've tried Lexol which has been around for decades, and while I'm sure it's a great preservative, it doesn't acheive the presentation I'm seeking. Same for Griots leather condition.

Grateful for any product suggestions that would acheive my goal. Thanks.

If Griot's isn't your bag. I'm a big Gloss-It fan. It sounds like his leather care provides just what you are looking for. Check it out.

I have used them both but like the longevity of the Gloss-It spray better.

I always use a damp cloth to clean my leather because I don't like the gloss. Is there a product that will condition the leather and not leave it glossy?

I've been using Sonus, and I love it. The smell is great, and do notice a difference in softness.

Leatherique and then seal with 303 Aerospace. 303 should give you the finished look that you are after and best of all it works plastic as well.

I use Zaino's. It's got UV protection and smells really good to. Had good luck with Zymol too. Zymol is more natural ingredient which tends to dissipate quicker.
