Just reconditioned a Z3 extended leather red steering wheel. Now I just need to seal in the dye.

Not sure what finish I should use - Matt, Satin or Gloss.

Any advice or suggestions?

I prefer matt finish on leather, I did mine and the final coat was a clear matt finish

Matt... leather is naturally Matt in finish the wheel will polish in use and over time become shiny start shiney and it will almost look patient.
Mine was matt when done too..

I also need to order some of the dark beige colour for the side bolsters of my seats. Do you know the name or colour code by chance?

Is this the stuff @Antm72? Mine are ready for a clean. The drivers seat has gone a bit shiney over the passenger seat since I dyed them due to more use.
