Just looking for an alternative to remove the shine from the leather and return it to the matte factory look. Steering wheel as well.

ColourLock seemed to be the most talked about in previous threads. However, looks like ColourLock is pretty much sold out and has been since last summer, looks like they went though some acquisition and it messed up inventory levels.

Any other recommendations?

Leather honey is good as well. They also make conditioner for after cleaning.

Looks like Colourlock was bought by Koch Chemie. I know they have Leather Star but haven’t used it. Wonder if they are planning on getting some more products out there or selling it under their own label.

FYI - I ended up going with P&S DOUBLE BLACK XPRESS INTERIOR CLEANER as well as trying GYEON Q²M LEATHER CLEANER NATURAL.

Both are amazing and did exactly what I wanted it to do - remove skin oils and debris from the seats to return to a factory matte finish with no after smell. P&S smells so good when using it though, ended up being the one I used way more and will be my go-to moving forward.

Nice, good info to report. I’ve been using Gtechniq Foaming Leather Cleaner and Ammo NYC Silque.

My 95K mile steering wheel. The Ammo stuff buffs off nicely without any greasy residue.
