Non glossy brand?

Non glossy brand?
Hey Everyone,
I need a bit of advice as to what product to use for my G. One thing I hate more than anything is the glossy black, wet finish that products such as Armor All, Meguiars, etc leaves on our leather seats when cleaning them. Thus far, I have only been cleaning the leather and door panels with luke warm water so that I dont get that ugly glossy finish. What over the counter or on-line product do you suggest so that I can get a original/satin look of leather when I clean my seats and door panels?

Warm water is horrible to be using...and anything over the counter is worse. You can't buy anything quality over the counter at the corner auto store.

I've been using 303 for years...and will always recommend it. If really dirty I'll use a 10:1 woolite mixture to wipe clean and dry, then follow up with 303 for look and protection.
HOWEVER...I just tried the 1z. This line seems to be getting a lot of hype, so I figured I would try something cheap and easy. I went with teh Cockpit Premium.
First thing I did was open it and smell. BOOM. Alchohol. Checking the ingredients there is definitley alcohol in it. I checked with George, and he supports it so I used it against my better judgement that alcohol and trim don't match. Applying it was easy as any other brand. The alcohol scent definitely protruded, and freaked me out a bit. Did provide a nice matt look though, so I liked that. Next morning I got in the car, and the alcohol scent was gone leaving just a very very faint citrus/chemical smell.
Long story short...I'm still up in the air on the alcohol, but the rest of it is pretty solid. Might start interchanging it with 303 from time to time. I really just worry that the alcohol will dry it out.
