    Aniline leather is far superior to any other type of leather, fact.
    I have it on my maybach and it's absolutely amazing, it stays cool in the summer and hot in the winter, it has no cracks or flaws whatsoever.

    You may not like it, but IT IS better.

    Re: Best Conditioner for Black Leather

    I have aniline on some club chairs and a couple ottomans and love the feel along with the patina gained over time but my coated leather seats feel just as soft and require much less maintenance.

    I think the cool in the summer and warm in the winter thing is a property of all leather, not just aniline-dyed. It quickly takes on the temperature of whatever is against it...

    most leather in new cars (with a few pricey exceptions) has a topcoat like the clear on your car.

    It's generally good practice to add additional protection (UIGP is a great choice!) to prevent the topcoat from being discoloured by dirt and body oils. Regular vaccuuming also keeps grit from being ground against the topcoat by the act of getting into and out of your seats.

    Great information and suggestions so far. I don't think the leather in my new Hyundai Genesis is aniline. Aerospace 303 Protectant is one of the best products I have used. Absolutely love it for the dash and all interior plastic. Never thought about using it on leather though.

    Any tips how to fixed very slight worn/scuffed side bolsters on black leather seats. Is there some type of cosmetic black touch up? I've been looking and all I've found are these black leather touch up pens from Harley Davidson:

    Read your owners manual on how to care for your interior seat trim.

    UISG and UIGP should make you very happy and protect the entire interior.

    I like Chemical Guys Pure Leather Conditioner:
    Chemical Guys Pure Leather Conditioner 16 oz.

    It does not set on top of the leather and leaves a good matte finish, but it has a pseudo leather smell that can be rather strong just after application so let it air out...

    Has anyone used leather honey? It can be greasy if you over apply, but it's supposed to be the best of the best. Completely turned around an old couch of ours.

    I like this stuff too it cleans and conditions. Its a thick liquid, like hair cnditioner. You rub it in by hand and it leaves a wet looking shine at first but it's dry to the touch. When it rubs off the leather feels soft. Very happy with this one. I only used griots spray stuff before and I havent used it since getting poorboys from autogeek.

    I protect all leather surfaces with Wolfgang leather conditioner. Leaves a really nice scent afterwards and goes on thin and buffs off easy.
