Driver's Side Leather Seat
Love my wife's 2012 RX-I'll keep this car for 300,000 miles (only 50k on the clock now.
However, the driver's side seat is cracking more than I think it should be for a four and a half year old car. See the pictures.
I've used leather cleaner/conditioner, don't beat it up, just seems strange how much cracking there is...she had a 9 year old Camry and it wasn't this worn...

+1 I also use CG guys stuff exclusively on my cars too, their leather cleaners and conditioners are quite good although I prefer the "Leather Serum" to the Leather Conditioner.

Mine looked that bad with Parchment and I used the Leather Renew kit to literally re-paint the seats. They turned out great, just like their photos and have held up over a year later. I first did my RX then did the side bolsters on my HS. http://www.leatherrenew.com/beforeAfter.php
We discussed further in the RX third generation forum where some other members also used it with successful results.
This is the kit I used as I was not about to spray paint inside my vehicle http://www.leatherrenew.com/details.php?prodId=41

there are mentions in that thread of using woolite to clean the seats, and some even say the lexus manual suggests using it. this same detailing site states not to here.
i'm NOT a leather expert...but i've spent too much time reading this crap now to avoid at least trying it. i have similar "creases" in my drivers side 08 gs350. hope this works for you.
edited to add: and now i just read on another detailing forum that highly recommends a leatherique product that claims will penetrate the leather...whatever, this is BS and i'm tired of reading conflicting information. this is science, after all, there should be a definitive answer!
