View Full Version : Slight Shininess but no Oiliness to Napa Leather

I was wondering how to go about this problem. My seats have a slight shininess to them but they don't really feel oily or greasy. I used the cleaner 4,9, 7.7, and 3,8 then applied the fatliquor, and 3,3 hydrator to them but they still have this look. I recently had the center console armrest replaced and that's how the leather used to look when I initially got it. How can I get rid of this slight sheen and get it back to the soft, very matte finish like it used to be. I have attached a picture for reference. You can see the sheen well on the driver side bolster. (Pay no attention to the car's mini-me on the back seat deck. lol.)

This sheen could be reduced with simply applying Protector-D on an on-going schedule or whenever the need arises.

A permanent correction would require a MicroTop-54 available in 4 levels of luster and perhaps either of the satin, matte or dull will definitely match up.
A topcoat is applied after Prep-7.7 > Clean-3.8 > Rinse-3.0.

Leather DoctorŽ Protector-D (Draggy Feel-79) is design for Aniline and Nubuck Wax Pull-up, Bicast, Vachetta, Steering Wheel and Leather Flooring. This is a non-film forming, non-stick scentless protector that enhances a natural draggy-feel. It imparts a non-stick breathable barrier essentially to shield the detrimental effects of sticky soiling. Its natural draggy-feel protection increases the leather resistance to wet and dry rubs, thus reduce stretch, scuff and abrasion. It is also used as a scuff repairer, filling and concealing surface scuffs to improve appearance. The drag produces an unforgettable familiar sound sweet to the ears when leather rubs.
