How to get rid of "shiny leather'
So I know you all know what 'm talking about. I have 993 sport seats in my 1996 C4S and my passenger seat looks like it is brand new, but my drivers seat has that shiny leather look to it. I want to know what products to use and what I should do so I can get the look of brand new leather back to my drivers seat.
Cheers,
Ryan

Shiny leather is usually an accumulation of dirt and old care products that become abrasive when mixed and shines the leather each time a person slides across the seating surface
Removal of accumulated soiling and layers of aged products - to restore the surface to its original matte finish; clean finished leather surfaces using Iz einszett 'Plastik-Reiniger' an intensive, non-corrosive, non-acidic two-phase deep cleaner for urethane covered upholstery or Leather Master™ Strong Cleaner or Optimum Power Clean ™ for aniline leather, which can be diluted with distilled water to the required strength; do not apply any liquid cleaning product directly to the surface of finished leather, as it may ‘spot’ clean, leaving a lighter colour.
Apply cleaning products to a folded 100% cotton towel and then apply to the surface using light / medium pressure. Use a medium hard brush to permeate the grain, stitching and seams.

Ryan,
Give Leather Masters Strong Cleaner a shot and use the Leatherique Prestine Clean for conditioning. You'll need a boars hair brush to get into the cracks/creases and pores to really get a clean surface. I did this on my 928 and it looked awesome and I believe the leather didn't change from 1990 to 1996.

Thanks Afshin!
I purchased the leather cleaning and conditioning kit from detailers domain last spring and I never used it. It came with the strong cleaner and the conditioner, it also came with the boars hair brush and a foam applicator pad. I will try the kit this week and post before and after pics to see how it turns out.
Cheers,
Ryan
