Good eye, yes it’s leather. That’s why I don’t want to mess it up. I’ll try the leather cleaners, with the leather brush very lightly, probably have to do it multiple times, and let you know what happens. Doesn’t the picture of the driver side diash look a little shiny to you, or is it just me

Appears to have some differences to me. I am sure all of the suggestions for cleaners are good. I would also go easy on the cleaning and count more on the conditioner you choose to give the appearance you want. I like Zaino Leather in a Bottle. It leaves a flat finish.

Everyone, thank you for the time spent sending me leather care tips! I ended up using Zaino cleaner, with soft brush, followed by Zaino leather in a bottle, applied with fingers(thank you for that PM suggestion). As you can see looks a whole lot better, than the before pic.

Gyeon make a great leather cleaner and conditioner. Both leave the leather matt and no problem with stitching.
I also keep a mini California Duster in the car for quick clean ups of dust. Only use it inside.

Default no but -dirt collector

I have 30 years of experience. If you put learher treatment on vinyl or plastic it will make it sticky enough to collect dirt. 303 is sepcifically formulated to protect those surfaces.
