What product to coat black leather seats

Hi Guys, First of all merry xmas to you all ! I have a e90 with a black leather interior, I want to make it pop a bit more like it looks as new as I can get. I know mine is not a real leather so just want some advice on a good cream etc to put on that will make it look as new again, I bought the chemical Guys conditioner which is a cream colour, it made it look ok but I now have cream looking stitching on the seats not the best. Not sure I want to use the black colourant stuff as wear a suit daily and don’t want that all over it, anyway know of a good interior spray or cream that will make the leather pop again and look super black ? Thanks in advance .

You need to get the right product as I assume you have dakota leather? If the seats show lots of fading etc you could explore dye and a finish on top. that's what I did. so can you describe what you want to do? are yours faded, scratched, creased etc etc then we can advise. I tried a few things so I can help and save you a few bob.

Black leather

Thanks mate, yeah black Dakota leather, not too faded looks pretty black still, only slight cracking on drivers seat, nothing bad, I believe it’s faux leather so people saying I don’t need to treat it as it’s not real ? Just wondered what to spray or what cream to use to make it look as new as possible, worried about the black stuff in a jar as like I say I don’t want black all over my clothes ? Never done this before , any help appreciated Thankyou

As I understand, most leather seats are not faux but actual leather. But they have a vinyl coating for protection. More expensive leathers have a less heavy duty coating so feels more natural but requires more maintenance. So they just need cleaning with a leather cleaning product like mequires, autoglym etc and then a conditioner, barrier cream
