What brand of leather cleaner is everyone using? Looking to get some to add to the collection.

Most use BMW leather cleaner, chemical guys or leatherique.

does the Chemical guys one leave a matte finish or a shiny one? I read some of the Amazon reviews and im confused.

Looking for a matte finish with no sheen or gloss.

It has a little sheen, but its the best one I have found. I think the slight sheen is from the conditioner that is built in. The seats feel good afterwards and It has a really good smell to it also. If I think about this weekend when I clean the car, I'll snap a before and after pic.

BMW LEATHER CARE IS VERY GOOD , SAFE AND ALREADY TESTED BY BMW. The leather in todays cars is coated. **Keep blue jeans with hardware or jackets with metal hardware far away from your seats.

I've been using Sonax Leather Cleaning Wipes with great success for the last ~4k miles. I have Ivory Merino Full Leather and it makes spot cleaning easy.

Even comes in a handy container that sits in the door pocket perfectly.

Any recommendations for leather cleaning if one has CeramicPro leather treatment?

sfscott, I applied Carpro’s CQuartz leather coating to Coffee Merino leather when our X5 was new. I occasionally apply Leatherique to it (out of habit?) and use Leather Masters Leather Dye Transfer Cleaner whenever I sense the leather is becoming discolored. With the coating, any transferred dye comes right off, and the leather returns to its original matte finish on high-use surfaces (i.e., left thigh bolster on driver’s seat). The leather has kept its original look and feel after 2+ years and 30,000 miles.
