Leather care Q, what do you use

so i noticed the black premium leather has a kinda non gloss matte finish to it, and i was wondering what is a good product to use ever few weeks to keep it like that, clean and conditioned
i was using some meguiars wipes for leather, but they seem give the leather more a wet look .

any thoughts,

also, whats thebest way to care for the alcantara

I used zymol leather cleaner and conditioner. It's great and it sort of bringing back the leather smell too.

Usually I wiped the alcantra with warm cloth and wipe it slowly in a backward motion (if there's something dirty on it)

Sure, give it a try. When you're done cleaning and put conditioner wait until it dries, then you can feel the leather is really really smooth. Even when I use jeans it feels "slippery."

I usually apply the leather cleaner and conditioner every 1-2 weeks.

Great. Should do full detail on the car inside out once in a while and I'm getting mine soon.
