KADVR6 0 Posted December 15, 2009 when i re-dyed mine i was informed by the furniture clinic that vw leather is a matt finish, but rubbing the matt finish over time it goes semi gloss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OllieVR6 0 Posted December 15, 2009 Well my rear seats look matt, and I'm pretty sure they have hardly been used (previous owner doesn't have kids) and the front ones look gloss, which proves the above theory right I reckon :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodaz 0 Posted December 15, 2009 Should be matt. Proper leather cleaner like Gliptone will take the gloss finish away. I hate shiny plasticy looking leather! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
