Leather Maintenance

For Nappa leather, what is recommended for cleaning the leather and maintain it so it looks like just purchased matte? I want to make sure the product I choose is safe and effective for the Nappa leather (which is almost aniline).

- Is saddle soap safe on both types of leathers?
- Has anyone used Swissvax or Spinneybeck or Leather Master?

I am thinking of using Leather Master products because they are pH balanced, water based, and affordable. Specifically two products: Leather Master Foam Cleaner (Leather Master Foam Cleaner) and Leather Master Protection Cream (Leather Master Protection Cream). Is Leather Masters Vital needed?

Thanks in advance!

I use Swissvax on my leather seats. Works great. I use it along with the Swissvax brush, and a clean microfiber towel. It's impressive how much dirt it pulls out.

Lexol cleaner and conditioner is what I use on every leather product I own including BMW's. Really any quality leather cleaner/conditioner will do a great job.
