I use the the autoglym leather cleaner but i have stopped using the leather care cream. The leather cleaner is very good and reccomended.
I dont use the leather care cream because i used it on my previous car (BMW 840Ci) and i noticed that over time it will darken the leather. Orginally the leather was light silver-grey but now its much darker.
I took the car into a leather specialist and they said use a leather care cream which has a Ph of neutral.

Zaino Z9 leather cleaner and Z10 conidtioner "leather in a bottle" is great stuff. Very easy to use, works wonders, and will make the interior of your car smell like a coach store- very matte and deep, very new car scentish.

Just ordered both from the UK dealer along with a ever trusted bottle of Rejex. Looking foward to using it on the leather...

I too have been using Lexol for years and absolutely love it. It doesnt make anything shine. Maybe you were using armor all or something
