I'm hoping someone can help.

I've got a 2019 3 Series which has a leather interior. When I say leather, my understanding is that it's real leather with some sort of coating on it. I did have some AutoGlym leather cleaner and conditioner, but my understanding is that it's fairly useless on the BMW stuff as the conditioner can't soak into the leather to condition it.

I have some Autoglym interior shampoo and vinyl and rubber care. The shampoo does a decent job of cleaning the seats, but the vinyl and rubber car gives far too much of a gloss to the seats and makes them slippy.

Given the seat material, I'm sure I can probably just clean them with an APC, but I'm looking for something that I can put on top to protect the seats a little that also has a matt look. If the same product can be used on the rest of the interior too. Then that would be great.

Don’t bother with conditioner. Modern car leather has a ‘clear coat’ over the actual leather, so all conditioner will do is smell nice before being wiped off. If you want to give the seat some protection try Colourlock’s leather shield.

AG leather cleaner is ok providing the leather isn't particularly dirty.

Gtechniq L1, Gyeon Leather, Dr Leather dye block are all excellent invisible leather protectors.

Cheers
