I'm sure this has been discussed, and I will be more than happy to remove this post if it is redundant/has already been answered. Can anyone point me to a thread for this topic? If not, can anyone recommend what can be useful for cleaning SC leather?

Thank You!

Zaino Leather in a bottle

Great product and brings back that new car smell.

2nd Zaino....I haven't really tried it on heavily soiled leather....but for every day/week maintenance I love this stuff.

For leather that needs rejuvenating I like leatherique. I used this on a previous car...a 98 where the leather was starting to crack...and it brought it back.

I gently wipe down the seats with a clean white cotton towel wet with solution of luke warm water and one drop of dishwashing liquid (so just barely soapy) followed by gentle drying with a barely damp (water only) white cotton towel. Repeat until drying towel stays white rather than showing any dirt still coming off the seat. Once the leather is clean, apply a good qaulity leather conditioner (mothers, Lexol, Zaino, etc) with a waxing pad and then gently buff dry with microfiber towel. Repeat every 6 months at a minimum.

I use Lexus' cleaner. The coconut smell is great and stays in the car well. When I bought the car it had that smell after 6 years still smells the same. It makes me nostalgic of the day I first sat in.

I ordered some Zaino yesterday. I will give you my results when I get them and try them out. I also got the leather cleaner.

I read one post where the person used nothing but the aerospace 303 ... I have been using it for a couple years and no problems... looks new .... smells new..I also use it under the hood...303 label says it does not dry out whatever that means... Zaino towels, wax etc for the body... microfiber is old polyester suit ... and will scratch your finish if used too harshly... clay bar and 3 layers of zaino wax ...good to go...

Have done well with Lexol leather cleaner followed by Lexol leather conditioner. I also sometimes take a short cut and use Armor all leather cleaner. Think Lexol is better though.

I've been using Leather Masters in my cars (Audi, BMW, Subaru) for over a decade. Wonderful stuff:

Funny thing is that this car has been so babied in Lexus dealerships its whole life, I swear it still smells brand new after 90K miles.

Do you know if one of the large chain stores sells Zaino, I'd prefer to buy it in person, if possible. If not, do you know a brand that you can buy at one of the chain stores?

Only can purchased directly through Zaino. Their leather cleaner and conditioner along with their wax Z2 can not be beat.

Another vote for leather master cleaner. I've always been happy with the results I've gotten.

Leather Master here. I really like their strong cleaner for older seats. It removes the oily shiny look and makes it matte again.
