the lexus cleaner and conditioner is very mild and wont hurt the leather.
It's not the best cleaner and conditioner to say the least, but it wont harm anything...

jfelbab. I don't understand the woolite deal on leather.how do you mix it etc . I am trying to find something that dose not leave a bad smell in the cars. A lot of people have allergies or just don't like to smell cleaner. help is needed. Thanks

You mix 1 part Woolite with 6-10 parts of lukewarm water depending on how strong a cleaner you want. Squirt some of the solution into a foam applicator pad and squeeze it a few times to work up some foam and apply to the leather. Rub vigorously to work up foam and then wipe off with a damp MF. Wipe again with another clean damp MF to remove all traces of the Woolite solution then buff dry with a third MF. I usually let the leather dry for 30 min. to an hour then apply a protectant like Leather Masters Protection Cream. When you finish there will be no odor.

I'm also a fan of Leatherique Pristine Clean and Rejuvenator Oil and I've been using for nearly 10 years in various cars. However, with the clearcoat on Lexus leather I'm not really sure there's much benefit to the oil other than around the stitching.

Using Lexus Leather Conditioner
Has anyone had successful results using Lexus Leather Conditioner on the peforated leather with ventillated seats? My concern is that the pasty solution may clog the holes in the leather when it is applied, making it look tacky. Is there any way to avoid this problem?

I just used the Lexol leather cleaner and Lexol Leather conditioner (purchased at Lexus) on my seats. The leather feels a little dry after the cleaning. It almost feels like it needs more conditioner. I am not sure if it is my imagination or not though. anyone else out there experience this?

Leather should feel dry, soft and silky after proper cleaning and protecting. Too many products leave an oily, grabby or slippery feel and these are the products that make your seats attract and hold on to dirt.

There is paint on my leather seats (no idea what type of paint nor did I notice it when I bought the car since I was always in the drivers seat)...
Any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging the vinyl coating?

Any suggestions fo going about restoring the leather?
I have the 93 SC and the material is worn down in places....I saw this leather detail kit on some website for like 150$ that they use at some shop apparently, and the before and after pictures were like night and day.... what specific products would be good for cleaning and conditioning the leather and then shining and preserving it?

Take a look at the products here. http://www.leatherworldtech.com/
IMO, Leather Masters makes the best products available for leather.
If you clean your leather regularly, and protect it a few times a year, it will last for decades.
•For cleaning, try the LM Strong Leather Cleaner.
•If your leather is worn then try the LM Vital Conditioner.
•For protection apply a couple even coats of LM Protection Cream two to three times a year.
Dirt is the most harmful thing for automotive leather. Dirt is what abrades the leather's urethane coating. Once the coating is gone, you cannot bring it back with any magic conditioner. If your saw what the leather looked like prior to it's top coat being applied, you would be inclined to buy cloth interiors. The color coating applied hides blemishes and adds a uniform grain. This is not the natural leather's grain you see in your automotive leather, it is an applied coating comprised of urethane.

I have an issue where my brown leather belt left a brown color on the "ivory" leather of my IS250. Any suggestions on how to pull this "color" rub off and how to prevent in the future. I have seen some post about 303? Would that help? Thanks!
