So I've tried the "spa treatment" and it didn't seem to work all that good. I'm not sure if I did it wrong, which is possible, but the center console is a little dry where I did it and the steering wheel is a little darker. I've used my duragloss conditioner and leather CPR on it since but no luck. The seats do look a million times better now than before but still need some help. Is there any other thing I can do to somewhat replenish or clean the leather better or does someone have a good explination on how to do the leather treatment?
Thanks

 

I seem to be a "loner" on this, but I cleaned my wheel with Kiwi saddle soap (but then my Wife is from New Zealand - maybe that matters). And, I cleaned my center console with Lexol Cleaner.

Of the two, I like the way saddle soap worked best. Both got the "black" off and both left the leather looking dry and lifeless/dead (but then it is, isn't it)? However, I thought the saddle soap was better at "blending" the original finish with the cleaned finish (read here that I think it did a better job taking the original finish off in the undamaged areas too, so the whole thing looked "even").

Then, I finished both with Tandy's Satin Shene (Super Shene on the wheel - before I'd found Satin Shene). I'm happy with the results and don't have stock in Tandy's. (Nor am I a seller/distributer).

There are other posts in this forum with pictures, so I won't repeat them. The two items under discussion look about the same today as they did back then, with no further treatment.
