Question for those who have used Leatherigue
Maybe I'm blind but I've looked till I'm blue in the face and I can't find anywhere on their website where it says how long to leave the Rejuvenator Oil on before following up with Prestine Clean.
Thanks

The longer the better.
I give my car the treatment once a year. I watch the weather forecast in the Spring for a really warm day, then pull it outside, slather the stuff on, and park it with the windows up, sunroof shade open, and just plan to not drive the car for the rest of the day. I put the remote for our wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer inside the car so I can keep an eye on the interior temps. I've had it get to 120dF inside the car! Once the temp starts to fall down to reasonable numbers inside (90s), I open the doors, let out the heat, and start wiping with cleaner.
Works awesome. My seats still look and feel perfect.

Using or leaving Leathernique on your Lexus leather (which has a polyurethane finish) will destroy the finish and leather. In a very few years they will harden and split out.

Was this based on your actual experience or just an opinion? I have used Leatherique on multiple BMWs (also know many whom used it as well) and have no issue yet. I just used it on my 2006 IS350 and it brought the leather back to about 80% as new. Hopefully there wont be any negative long term effects.

It was very obvious that this was not compatible with aged leather, even though carefully cared for. I covered the car with a car cover at work during the day and garaged otherwise the first 10 years and that kept the interior in excellent condition.
I will never use it again, and it will never get close to my current LS430.

i think the leatherique is meant to restore normal leather, not old hardened leather. I am amazed at what it did to the 05ES330 I have. I barely wiped it off the back seats and it sunk in gradually in
