I just use warm water too, with a couple of drops of Fairy.

When the leather goes shiny it is a builkd up of dead skin and grease compressed into it, you want to get that out, not add more crap too it. Sure some will hide it......for a few days, but that is all it is doing.


You can use Woolite mixed 1:10 with warm water, works really well if it is dirty.

If the car is old, like 10-15 years old and 120k miles, I use engine degreaser mixed 1:5 with warm water and a soft bristle brush to work it in, it can get the hardest, shiniest looking seats looking factory matte again.

Remember, you are getting stuff off the leather, so adding more product is not the best idea.

Oh, and 95% of all leather is spray painted with a top coat, conditioning it is simply not possible.
