Hi,
I bought this wallet a year ago (link below), and i love that type of leather. After some time (not long after buying) i applied colorless wax for that type of leather on it, and it was smoother but became MUCH darker, its almost black now, and i would like to somehow clean it to regain its original color. To be clear, its not damaged, or worn out or something else, its just too dark.

Aniline Oil Pull-up also known as “Crazy Horse” leather.
It would be good to see picture of existing condition for comparison.
Like to see the colorless wax you have applied, wax of any type will produce a sheen thus is the wrong match that accumulated the unwanted sheen.
Perhaps body oil; grease and sweat may also contribute to the unwanted sheen.
Cleaning would mean "degreasing" or "stripping" any accumulated soiling follows by leather rejuvenating for softness prior to the secondary oil pull-up effect that returns the leather to its original "crazy horse oil pull-up type".
Upon viewing the existing condition I will then recommend the procedure and products.
