Thumbs down Seats ashy looking

I have black seats and they look like the gloss is fading so bad that the seats look ashy.

Is there anything that lasts longer than armoral? Thanks

Throw the armor all away, it will dry your leather out. Never use it on anything!!!

I've always had good luck with meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner. It's similar to a lotion.

I like griots garage leather conditioner. It smells like leather and the smell lasts for a few days after you apply it.

Yes the armoral was a desperate attempt for shine.
I will try the stuff mentioned and take a before and after. I'm almost ready to replace the seats. Its like the clear coat is gone on the leather. How theses ideas work.

If your leather can be restored Leatherique is absolutely the best product available.

Leatherique would have been the first answer if you had asked in the detailing forum. It's all I use.
