I was wondering what others are using to keep their interiors clean? I normally use Lexol Leather cleaner and Leather Conditioner but during the winter the blue of the blue jeans transfers onto the leather.

I don;t want to keep using the Lexol Leather Cleaner to much because I am sure after time it will change the color of the leather. I have been using just a wet paper towel which seems to work well, but I'd like to hear from others on this.

My LS has black interior and while it does not look anywhere as nice it is so much easier to take care of

I use the Lexus leather care kit. I also use a microfiber specifically for leather.

I use the same thing Lexol leather wipes,and it does its job, with a special microfiber towel. but the seats, I have microfiber seat cover ordered from a Lexus dealer with a L logo on it, and it keeps it very clean.

Mind providing a pic of this seat cover. I didn't know Lexus made one.

i have flaxen interior, 4,500 miles and so far so good, and i wear a lot of dark colored jeans.

i really wouldn't waste time with lexol or any of those, those don't offer protection and don't fight against dye transfer.

about once every 2 months, do a deep clean with leather masters cleaner, THEN apply leather masters protectant.(this is what keeps dye transfer from happening)

and once a week i wipe down the whole interior, including the seats with meguiars quick detailer, this offers UV protection as well in addition to preventing dye transfer.

let me know once you get these products and i'll dig a thread with exact instructions on how to apply. it's very simple and easy, and not messy.

This is interesting. I would like to know what this seat cover is all about too. But back on topic I use sonax and optimum on my leather the time. Works like a charm and prevents it from cracking.

Careful not to get cleaner/conditioner into the perforations.

I also also had a dye transfer problem at around 5,000 miles, but I used Meguiars quick detailer and it came off with no problems.

I use a product called Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel, works great.

I ordered some Sonax Leather Foam I'm going to try, should be here today...

Here's a video of it in action:

Good grief, that looks like it would be hot as hell in the summer. Even winter with the heat on, I thought we were not suppose to cover the leather because it needs to breathe.

Hey let us know if this creates problem or it works perfectly.

Just got and used the Sonax Leather Foam.

Wow, easily the best product I have used to clean leather. It foams on, doesn't overspray all over the rest of the car. Let it dwell for a few minutes, work it in and buff it off. Leather feels butterly, like new, smells great, no sheen just an OEM matte appearance.

PERFECT product for the Flaxen interior. I did the whole interior in about 5 minutes.

No problems at all,I had it for almost a yr and its nice and cool plus I have a custom sunshade, it stays nice and cool.

I don;t understand spending $60k on a car with beautiful leather seats and leaving a cover like that on all the time quite frankly. Its meant to be enjoyed. Yes it will wear over time, all things do.
