Those are fine. It's about preference, but Lexol is a trusted brand, so you can't go wrong. I say use it up and if you want to try something else later, give it a go. It's never let me down.

What are you using to clean them? I (like apparently the whole forum) use Lexol and I don't have that problem, my seats aren't even glossy afterward but ooooh does it bring back that European leather smell that I love.
