Default Leatherique results

I decided to order some Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Pristine Clean for my '08 GS460, as I felt like Lexol just wasn't really doing the trick for me.

First I did a test run on my parents' '02 Tundra (tan seats). You can see that I did the passenger seat only in the pictures, so it should give a good idea what the seats like both before and after. The black seats are my GS, and because they were already in great condition, I didn't bother with any before shots, so I've included a couple of the finished product only.

Overall, it's a very simple process. After vacuuming the seats and wiping them clean with a damp microfiber, I massaged the rejuvenator oil in by hand, then let it sit on the seats for 24 hours (20 hours on the GS). Once the oils had soaked in, I sprayed the seats down with the pristine clean, then buffed them dry with a microfiber. The seats were still a little tacky feeling for another day, but parking the cars outside in the sun for a bit dried them right up. Definitely a night and day difference with the overall feel of the leather. I strongly recommend this product.

Feel free to ask any questions if you have any!

If anybody's interested, here's the kit I ordered:

I recommend after using the Prestine Clean as directed, mix a small amount in water and wipe down the seats this gets rid of any tacky feeling. Great product I LOVE the fact that it cleans the seats with almost no abrasive action.

Just did this on my ISF. Certainly an easy way to restore that soft, clean feel.

Not going to lie, I had a pair of old, ratty-looking, leather Sperry boat shoes that I stopped wearing, so I used some on them and they seriously look brand new. Figured what the heck? Saved me $100. Definitely a big fan of this product.

Great write up, thank you!
I just purchased a 2013 GS350 and with the Flaxen interior and was looking for a product, as I love the Flaxen tan seats. This is the first vehicle I have had with leather and needed help.
Amazon said my Leartherique will be here Tuesday...

It's a great product. Used it on my parents' '14 RX, and it made a noticeable difference. The Pristine Clean is also a great product to use as a maintenance cleaning spray on the leather, as well as the dash. Post up your results!
