Leather shine
I have been asked to clean the interior on a modern classic, seats and carpets. The seats are fabric with leather(painted) bolsters and backs, the guy asked me if there was anything I could use to give the leather a “lustre”. If will be using autoglym leather cleaner to clean them , but what would you all recommend for giving them the sheen .?

Autoglym.interior shampoo used to give a sheen but it would last. The gliptone cleaner does quite well in my experience Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

On someone else's car, initially, I would use the autoglym cleaner for door cards, dash etc and the seats occasionally. The gliptone is a product designed for leather, but it is a gel that needs to be buffed off (read as wiped lol) on the likes of ZT seats at least- as they are sealed. Gliptone will leave a leather smell behind for a time, which is great for a client. The interior shampoo is a fantastic all round cleaner, easy to use, and great for a maintenance cleaner. The gliptone is perfect for the initial scrub down. Use the autoglym all over (especially great for vinyl headliners) for a maintenance clean. Perhaps using Gliptone annually as a 'top up ' clean. For future reference, they also do a leather cream which for non sealed leather is fantastic for keeping a suppleness. All the above will give a satin sheen, and if there is anything that is too shiny, a quick wipe over with interior shampoo will subdue it. I am sure there are specialised treatments and products for this, but these will do a great job for not much money. I get all of mine from eBay mainly as I normally have a delivery charge to pay for most things. But just buy from the cheapest source I would say.
