Need a bulk leather conditioner

So I'm looking for some leather conditioner. It doesn't necessarily need to be in large quantities, but if it's only sold in 8 oz or 16 oz containers, then I don't want it to cost an arm and a leg.



It'll be for bulk detailing. Looking for more of the natural finish with a soft original feel. Any suggestions?
 
I currently have a gallon of Meg's Detailer Line Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. It's pretty decent compared to some other leather cleaner/conditioners I've used in the past. It gives the leather a shiney appearance, but I haven't ran into a product for leather that hasn't done that. I think it has more to do with the actual quality of the leather. Some people might like the smell, others might not. It doesn't have a natural leather scent, that's for sure. It sorta has a men's cologne type of scent. It doesn't have much of a cleaning ability though if your leather is old and dirty.
 
The recommended dilution for Meg's APC+ for interior cleaning is 10:1. That is what I used to pre-clean the leather. It worked well for me, but you might want to be careful if you're using the Meg's interior carpet brush. The bristles on that brush are a bit too stiff for leather and if the leather is really old and starting to crack, it'll clean it well but it might crack even more.

That's actually the exact brush I was planning on using for carpet and upholstery. Does is work well for that? What's the proper technique for cleaning leather?
 
I started off using the interior brush on the leather, but after realizing that it might be a bit too harsh for the condition of my leather, I ended up just using a MF towel and the APC+ diluted 10:1 to wipe it down. This was my own car so I was happy enough with the results because if I had to scrub the leather, that would have required a lot more elbow grease. My leather is also a dark gray so it's hard to tell how well of a cleaning job the MF towel with APC+ did.



I have all the brush attachments for the PC, so one of these days I'll have to give that a try to see how well it works.

Anyone try Duragloss's Leather Shampoo cleaner and/or DG's leather conditioner and Four star's conditioner?

It's pretty good stuff, but I like my leather to have a touch of sheen, whereas Duragloss is really matte.

There leather stuff is real nice....but to get the gloss you want ..try

Duragloss UD (Vinyl & Leather Dressing) ..it is not super glossy but just right..I use it on trim also..DG said it would work fine..and it does..lasts forever it seems on trim..I use it on the inside plastics also...only draw back is it smell sorta like a cologne..but goes away fast...



I do not have much leather in the truck..but use it alot on the leather furniture..and it holds up real nice...

Well I want the real matte look, so DG sounds like a winner.



I was planning on using APC+ 10:1 for all interior cleaning and then 303 protectant for shine and UV protection on vinyl, doors, anything but leather really.
