i think the only thing in the VW scene that isn't "rare" is the actual word "rare"

I couldn't give a fook how rare they are, that sort of money is ridiculous! They look in need of a good refurb too (especially the fronts)
The VW scene must be the only one where people are prepared to spend £10k plus on a car worth £2k and parts swap hands for the sort of money above

You had Cambridge Autogleam detail your car Jim?!
EDIT: Just found the thread http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=17967
If leather has gone that shiny, you won't get results like the link on the Corrado / R32 forum - the leather they're doing it on is relatively new, and the shiny finish is from inground dirt opposed to a combination of that and general wear.
Also, older leather tended to be shinier from factory, whereas these days all leather is at best satin.
A magic sponge will remove the inground dirt, but not as effectively as a proper scrub with a leather brush / soft bristle nail brush and cleaner. Magic sponges also tend to leave a bit of a residue that will give a matt finish but wear off soon after.

Once it gets to a certain age it won't ever stop looking a bit shiny - Jims leather above is a good example as that's clean, but worn.
Try Gliptone with a nail brush then the wet microfibre and see after that. Or, Megs interior APC (safe to use on leather unlike a lot of others) as that tends to have a bit more bite than a lot of dedicated leather cleaners.
