I am soon to be the pround owner of a Porsche Boxster S with natural gray leather interior (this is a charcoal gray and an option higher grade of leather-no urethane coating). I understand that Lexol, Pinnacle, Leatherique and Hide Food are typically recommended on this board. I understand they are all great products.



I do NOT like a shiny look to my leather seats and therefore I am looking for the cleaner/conditioner that provides a warn, satiny look and not a shiny look.



So, which is the dullest?

Zymol Treat may be the one for you.

I have used all of those products except Hide Food. I use leatherique because the pristine Clean leaves the mattest look I have ever found from a leather conditioner. I am a freak about my leather having zero shine, and Leatherique has been the best answer so far!

Of the products you mentioned I would go with Leatherique. The results Leatherique can provide are simply amazing.

I like Zaino Z10 leather in a bottle. It smells great, and maintains a semi-gloss factory finish.



Some of us use 303 on our leather, including DAVID B. For a low gloss, dampen a foam applicator with water, and spray 303 directly on the applicator. Wipe down the seats / interior, and then buff dry with a MF towel. I have had great results with both these products. I also like a low gloss factory finish.

Since your leather will not have the protective finish covering (VINYL)



I would go with the Leatherique.......once or twice a year and in between use their pristine clean.....

Zaino is nice, very low gloss.



I use it on my steering wheel and I feel perfectly safe, it leaves nothing behind.

If you like a matte finish, I would try the Einszett Leather treatmet, Lederpflege. I use it on my Audi leather and it works great.



It`s German, your car is German, should work well for your panzerwagen.

hrmmm im pretty dull but im not a leather care product.



I like 1z`s leartherpfledge or whatever its called on my wifes car it leaves the seats looking nice. I am going to try out the leatherique not because im not satisfied with the 1z but because there is alot to be said about experimentation and personal preference.
