Which one of these leather cleaning and conditioning products are recommended for black leather? Tell me why you like the one you're recommending.

Thanks
 
I use Sonax leather foam on all my customers cars very easy to use a works great. The other product I use is leather masters which is a great product. I use Sonax on black Jaguar,Mercedes and many other higher end cars. It's safe on perforated leather.

I use this to clean and then to protect (not condition) my vehicles' protected-leather seating/appointments...regardless of its color:
Leather Master Car Leather Protection & Cleaner Kit 150ML + Ink Away

IMO:
-Less hassle than using Leatherique for protected leather.
-Connolly should be reserved for unprotected leather.

I noticed that you have a Corvette badge in your sig. The car in question is also a Vette. Question is, is the leather in my car protected of not? That I do not know.

To test your leather put a small drop of water on it if it soaks in its no treat and if it stays on top it's treated. Almost all leather is treated now days.

Without knowing the year/interior package...I'll say that:
"the water drop test" can often help determine the "type" of leather.

[I determined that the seats in one Corvette were semi-aniline (perforated)...a little difficult to accurately determine; the other one has protected.]

Here's my version of the aforementioned water-drop test:
Top Coated/Protected:
Place a small droplet of water onto the surface of the leather. The water droplet will sit on the surface of the leather and will not soak into the leather immediately.

Semi-Aniline:
Place a small droplet of water onto the surface of the leather. This droplet of water will immediately soak into the leather and create a dark spot, which will dry and disappear in a matter of minutes.

Full Aniline...(think Ford King Ranch Seats):
Same as Semi-Aniline

Suede/NuBuck:
Brush the leather's "knapp" one way...it darkens.
Rub it back...it lightens.
Takes "specialized" products. LeatherMasters/AGO has them, if needed.
