Default Detailing Leather

Has anyone found a way to really clean tan leather. I have had several cars with this interrior and after awhile it just always looks dirty.

Hey, along these lines has anyone researched if the LS400 seats, specifically a 95, have clear coated leather seats?

I used lexol on my leather and was very dissapointed with the result, left the leather worse than before, maybe i didnt do it right. I then bought some meguires cleaner in a red bottle at walmart and i am amazed my leather looks and feels brand new(on my SC) i definitly recommend it. Just dont leave it on the seats for a while or it could cause some lighter discoloration!

Default Cleaner

I have tried the Lexol and Zymol leather cleaner/conditioner and been disappointed. I ended up trying the Lexus brand cleaner and conditioner (separate bottles) and was surprised how well it worked. Removed pen ink and generally cleaned 2 kids worth of grime off pretty good. I use it on my ivory and cypress leather.
