Unfortunately I think pretty much all the leather conditions you can use will leave the surface slighly shiny, simply because the conditioners are emulsions of essential oils for the leather that keep it soft and supple.

 

Black leather will probably show the shine the most too :roll:

 

I use AutoGlym cleaner, followed by the conditioner and it works well enough.

...................as a Saddler...........I have a few leather conditioners which would do the job, some have a neutral smell too.

Let me know if you are interested.

All the best.

MoonlightVR, would those 'essential oils' help cure cracking in the leather? My grey leather has some faint cracks on the bolsters, almost imperceptible right now, but I wouldn't want it to get any worse.

I have been told that saddle soap is the best thing you can used to replendish leather - I must admit it works extremely well and is very cheap!!!

Matt, yep regular "feeding" of the leather will help keep the leather soft and crack free. Leather will crease naturally, but when it dries out it cracks. Regular cleaning and feeding will keep it looking good for years :D
