An Old School Tool for cleaning leather is Woolite. Dilute 4:1, spray onto seat, then use a Color Lock Brush as Josh did. Saves $$$, but it is a very mild soap, recommended by some manufacturers. "Keep It Simple Stupid" KISS!

The real nightmare is when I had to remove glitter from the perforations in the leather seats lol that bigger flake glitter tho, so the pieces were the same size as the holes and would get stuck. It was not fun and took a long time lol. I also did the whole tapping the seat part cause I noticed it would help things loosen up. I only had a tooth brush and a vaccum haha

Hi, How can I remove Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner from my leather seats and restore the original matte finish? Would using a leather cleaner be effective, or should I continue with a weekly cleaning routine and wait for the conditioner to wear off naturally over time? Additionally, would using a matte finish leather protector in the future help maintain the desired look?

They do! That’s very true. But it will still help a bit and it’s important to focus around the seams where the leather is punctured for the thread or around perforations. The conditioner can get in to those spots and help prolong the life and prevent it from stiffening up.
