SC430Sam

I did some searches and found some generic posts on leather conditioning, but I did not find any specific to the SC430. The SC has different leather than all of the other Lexus vehicles that I have owned, so I am wondering how everyone who has had their SC for a while keeps the leather as soft as day one.

I live in Florida so the leather bakes about 3/4 of the year in the hot sun. I do not want cracked leather like all of my other previous cars.

Any products, application times (monthly, bimonthly, etc), or any other information on this car's leather would be great. Thank you.

Well, suggestion do not use that stuff u buy out of lexus the brand "leather" from the lexus dealership it really mess up your leather. I bought some from my lexus dealership (thats the only thing the carry) and well long story short my leather was color changing and peal off trust me i started to cry when that happen to my head rest in teh back seat. Word of advice Lexus does not take any respondiblity for that either so its more of do it at your own risk kind of thing because i complain that it peal my leather and they didn't really care. My lexus dealership is a BIG ***!!! Don't even get me started on my ls460 with the towing.

I have heard good things about Zaino Leather Conditioner. Has anyone used this?

I'm watching this topic because I had the exact same question. Looking for a product which makes leather seem like original, not all shiny looking.

my lexol definitely did NOT make the leather look shiny. i HATE that look. definitely do not use armor all, that would be the end of story

also, make sure you don't rub against the leather when you drive, etc... that's another big cause to "polishing" the leather to shininess

I have used Zaino leather in a bottle since Dec. 2006. Appears to be great stuff thus far. Goes on easy and you don't have to wipe off, just let dry. Smells like leather as well and doesn't leave a shine. I have also used the Zaino leather cleaner with good results. My interior is ecru and I'm very pleased with these products.

I've been using the Zaino Leather Conditioner for about 6 years on my SC430 (ecru) and recommend it highly.

And it smells good.
