Pigmented, aniline and synthetic each take a different cleaner.
Leather & synthetic leather: Sealants and waterproofing protect the leather types they are cleared for. Coated smooth leather, synthetic leather and open-pore leather each ask something different of the protection you put on them.
Material approval and everyday use decide what you pick; cleaning and repair stay jobs of their own, and they come before any protective layer goes on.
