I use Black Magic Pro shine & Protectant. It's greasy at first, but you have to take the time to rub it in. It gives the best shine I've ever seen, and you can use it on all of the plastics and rubber in the car. Just be careful with the dash, if you shine it too much sun will reflect off of it and make it impossible to see. I spray it on and rub it in with cheap-o shop towels. Makes the leather so smooth I can't put my CD book on the passenger seat anymore, becuase everytime I brake a little they fly off.

I tried Meguiar's, I think it was called Gold Class. It was a pain for me becuase you had to use so little at a time. If you put too much on at once it would build up in the little holes and stitching of the leather and leave white spots.

Which product did NOT make the leather shiny? I hate the "armor all shiny" look...

I occasionally use the Meguiars Gold Class for routine cleaning, but about twice a year I like to use the two step leather treatment (liquid cleaner, aerosol protectant) from Wilson's. I was using it on my jacket for years and it does such a good job I started trying it for sofas and my car upholstery.

Yeah, that's what i do too. I use the stuff you can buy at the leather shops, like Wilson's. You can't beat the smell of leather, plus they work very well. I am tempted to try Zaino's leather ****, but i DO NOT like their "waxes" so i'm a little skeptic.

Griots Garage Leather Cleaner and Leather Care, smells like a leather shop, no residue, makes the leather very supple and like new. Highly recommend the stuff, you won't go back.
