Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me how i can get rid of the shine on the driver and passenger leather seats ?
There starting to look a bit old and slightly cracked
The back have hardley been used and are still a lovely matt (AS NEW).
Many thanks Rich.

Wipe them over with some saddle soap and leave to dry, every now and then.

Will this get rid of the shine, everything i see in the shops for looking after leather seats seams to state "this product will leave a lovely shine" after use, I DONT want them to shine.

Wipe over with saddle soap (as above post) will keep them nice without the shine or try Gliptone cleaner/conditioner, it does an excellent job on leather.

I don't use a conditioner, I just wipe them with saddle soap once in a while...
