It does a fantastic job!

I use 1Z Cockpit Cleaner, but not on my leather! For that, I use the Swissvax Leather Cleaner. I have nappa, so it requires a little bit more attention. The Swissvax makes it a breeze to keep clean.

Agreed. I would not use it on the Nappa leather but on the Dakota like the OP has I don't think it matters. Used this on Q7 which has Cricket Leather and is similar to Dakota and I did not have any issues.

SWISSVAX is for Nappa leather only per the label.

No shine... it actually works well for Dakota leather texture. Every time I use it, it makes the leather surface like new. After application the leather surface is still moist so let it fully dry.

I use it for both Nappa and non-Nappa leathers. I recommend it and it's my preferred cleaner. It is probably overkill on Dakota, but I use it anyway with great results.

For Conditioner, I use Spinneybeck. Also no shine. One trick that works great on all conditioners is to use a hair dryer to warm up the leather a little and also to dry the conditioner after a few minutes. If you are careful about how much conditioner you apply (most people over-apply) you can blow it dry and no buffing or drying towel is required.

Always used Lexol. Works great

[Serious]

Chemical guys. In my experience conditioner is not required or advisable as long as the leather is kept clean. Modern automotive leather has a polyurethane coating that the conditioner won't penetrate.

Having contact with the leather on a daily basis, wouldn't this coating eventually be removed?

I've had good results with Sonax.
