Question

I would greatly appreciate some advice concerning the care of the leather in my relatively new RX-300. What kind of products do those of you in this forum prefer? And in what sort of intervals? The manual is rather shabby in this regard...

Many thanks in advance!

Well, from what I've read and learned online (particularly at http://autopia-carcare.com), Lexol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner for your leather, and either Lexol Vinylex or Aerospace 303 for your vinyl.

Hope this helps... I would definitely recommend checking out the car care site I listed above. Good luck!

Default Try Zaino

I've never used lexol so I don't know much about it. However, I am using Zaino's leather conditioner and I love it. It doesn't seem to perform any better than other stuff I've used but it smells great! When I get done with the car it smells new again! Take a look at zainobros.com

Mother's cleaner and conditioner I find is the best on any leather surface. Conditioner has a light coco butter smell to it. I've been using it for 10 years now

Hope that helps!

I also use Zaino "Leather in a Bottle" and love it. It has a great smell - much like the new car leather smell and it seems to work great. I try not to use it too often, just enough to keep it protected from the sun and my rear
