Semi-Aniline Leather seat treatment

[kamisn]

Hi, My Infiniti has Semi-Aniline seats that are very smooth and with minimum leather grooves and marks. I have treated the seats with Chemical Guys Leather and used their conditioner as it supposed to be safe for all leather surfaces including mine, however no matter how careful I am it leaves some residue/shine even though they advertise that it is not supposed to. I have used it before and the shine and sticky/slippery feeling goes away after few days of use, but I just don't like how it comes out with some patches of residue looking spots.

I am wondering if anything like ONR is a better option to clean and protect maybe? I just wanted use something to keep leather conditioned so in long run prevents it from cracking, but maybe I have done some unnecessary step.

Just for background I have done this 3 months ago and got similar results with the CG but I thought I did not apply it correctly, but apparently its the product that does this.

Any Suggestion is appreciated.

I found this thread, have I screwed up my leather by using conditioner?!

IMO:
-No, not this time around.
-But you’d better do better
on the flip-side.

Thanks Bob, I wiped the excess streaks with dry microfiber towel and it looks uniform now, however I have a bottle of ONR on order. Is it a good idea to wipe the seats down with ONR just to be safe?

•Since the streaks are gone; and things look
uniform; I wouldn’t bother the seats with ONR.
-Your good to go.

Next time: give this kit a try:

The kit has cleaner and cream conditioner, shouldn’t I avoid any cream conditioner at all?

That’s strange.
The kit I listed actually has a Protection
Cream, not a cream Conditioner.

The steering still feels sticky even though I wiped it with water damped microfiber. Shall I use the suggested cleaner or something like ONR to get rid of sticky feel?

I have ONR available but need to order the kit, however certainly don’t want to make it worst than what it is.

It says the product is discounted.

I cleaned the steering with soap and also Lexol cleaner and still have sticky feel, did not put any conditioner or coating on it, shall I apply anything?

At this point I am desperate as my car is only three months old and the steering feels so yucky!

Well daggone the luck...the Kit I use and
have been recommending for quite some
time has been discontinued.

However:
Their “Leather Protection Cream” has not
met with the same fate. It can be found
as either a stand alone product, or part of
their “Strong Leather Care Kit”.
