It's the best stuff I've seen. Detailers always recommend it!

Where can I find Leatherique? I've never even heard of the stuff. It's at Pep Boys or Autozone or better to just order online?

You might try going to the "Automotive Care & Detailing" forum here at CL where you'll find many different cleaning options discussed at length. You should start with the sticky https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...s-leather.html

I used meguires gold leather cleaner, it works ok, but if you want it cheap and works. USE purple-power. As a WARNING, Dont scurb too hard otherwise your leather will fade. I seen it does wonders on that.

Screw those products, If you really want to deep clean your leather, use a kitchen sponge and use the yellow side with some dish detergent and water and go nuts. Make sure to use conditioner like Lexol afterwards to avoid drying of the leather.

Those "leather cleaners" are only good for new leather, not 10 year old leather like ours.
