lexol cleaner is pretty good and can be bought at any auto parts store. I much prefer using an all purpose cleaner. Gets the job done faster.

Most of the cars have coated leathers so leather conditioner will not do much. All it does is making the seats attracting more dust and being greasy.

I would recommend using interior protectant instead such as 303 Aerospace protectant (last 1-2 months) or Ultima Interior Guard Plus UIGP (last ~3 months). 303 is best known for UV protection while UIGP is best known for creating silky smooth touch feeling.

If you are willing to pay a bit more, go with Carpro Cquartz Leather Coating which will prevent all dye transfer as well as giving UV protection. This will last 2 years.

Never knew you could use Aerospace 303 on leather. Trying to source one locally but no such luck. I used to use this same stuff on my old Acura TL. Thanks!!!

My HS250 manual suggested water and Woolite. I don't remember the ratio but I still have a bottle I mixed up a while ago. It works pretty well. A lot of guys in the Rolls Royce Owners Club use these products.

i still use conditioner on my seats even though people say it does not do a thing for coated leather. But i still feel like it has made my seats much softer. Oh and i like the leather smell too

leatherique prestine clean and rejuvenator oil are great.

But for regular day to day cleaning I just use Meguirs leather cleaner , seems to work fine.
