Default Recommendations needed...

want to clean but more importantly protect/restore the dashboard and leather seats on 2009 GS 350. The seats are in near perfect condition, but I would like to know what product to use to occasionally condition/protect them. Also, the center leather armrest/console cover and the door handle area where dirt can slowly build and show (inside leather light gray).

As for the dashboard, it has a small area that the finish is slightly changing due to sun (i guess) that I want to restore and protect moving forward. Which products do you guys recommend?? Thanks

Remember to please search the forum threads and stickies for existing answers to your questions. This helps consolidate information for anyone trying to find something in the future. It is much easier to have a few threads with a ton of information than 100 threads with little information

There are many threads on the first page alone that will answer your questions.

For protecting the dash and other parts from fade/sun damage I would use Aerospace 303, it is good stuff.

For protecting your leather I would keep it clean, that is the most important thing. You can clean it with a woolite and water mixture. Don't put a lot of creams/conditioners on it, they can't penetrate the protective leather coating and don't even reach the leather, they just sit on top attracting more dirt if you don't clean them off. Leather Masters protection cream seems to be getting some reviews on helping prevent blue jean transfer but I don't know how long it realistically stays on top and protects.
