Default Lexol bad for our leather?

Being the dumbass as I am, I put on Lexol shampoo and conditioner on my IS350's leather. And after do, I find out that Lexol doesn't recommend using the product on soft and some other leather.

Is the IS350's leather considered too soft to be using Lexol?

I've used Lexol cleaner and conditioner on my seats for the past 4 or 5 months. No problems here. Its always soft and smooth afterwards.

Lexol is fine for car leather. Don't worry you didn't mess it up. I've used Lexol before in cars. My favorite right now is the Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner but Lexol works just as well and a lot cheaper. Car leather is not soft leather and if it makes you feel better, every Lexus dealer I've been to, sells Lexol and the Lexus branded leather cleaner and conditioner at the parts dept., so it must be okay for the car.

No problems here either; lexol is pH balanced and will not eat away at the leather. ive been using it since the purchase of my lexus last year and have had no problems; and like others mentioned before, its the only leather cleaner the lexus dealer sells.
