Reducing shine on leather trims

Recommended Posts

I have some cream leather trims but want to reduce the shine on them. This is the a b and c pillar trims. Is there a simple way to do this?

Only option is to give them a really good clean up and then treat with leather feeder - it will be dull them a bit but maybe not enough to get them back to matt again.

 

I found that using Autoglym leather cleaner as per the instructions alongside a bowl of hot clean water really shifted the dirt out of a set of leather I had, treated with leather feeder/cream after which it really cleaned it all up pretty well.

 

Worth also noting that being organic leather responds to heat, it'll suck up the feeder if its warmer.

Thanks yan. I think its more a question of being sprayed with a gloss coat as opposed ro a satin finish. Not sure what to treat them with without damaging them..

You need a magic sponge.. dampen, but should feel basically dry.

 

They do a flash one in most supermarkets, just noticed Poundland do one but not tried it yet!

good suggestion BB - just ordered some from Ebay. I'll give them a go and see how they turn out. presumably they can then be cleaned and conditioned afterwards?
