Default Best Leather Cleaner/Conditioner for Lexus Interior

Although all leather cleaner/conditioner works in any car, I seen scenarios where some work better than others. I literally have the lightest color interior ever in my life in the Lexus RX. What would you recommend? What have you used with success? Would be a huge plus if it worked well in Chevy interior too

I’m a huge fan of Leather Masters Protection Cream. It leaves a really nice finish on every shade of leather I have tried so far and it seems to last until the next time my car is due for a cleaning, whenever that may be.

Leather Master Protection Creram. Dries to the touch and doesn't leave an oily or grabby finish to attract and hold dust and dirt. Provides a barrier to soiling and makes cleaning easy. Also inhibits dye transfer from blue jeans and the like.

This stuff rocks. It is a bit pricey and the application is a challenge.
It pulled the dirt and creases right out of the leather.
By product of the process-----------You end up with a "New Car" smell and really supple leather. Awesome. The LS will get treated next summer.










Step 1 Apply very liberally with your hands. Let is sit overnight in a very hot sun.

Step 2 Cleaning the residue off the leather the next day

Another Leatherique success story. To get the same results (if possible) you'd need to use various brushes and a whole lot of friction so yea Leatherique is a messy process but I still find it way easier than other methods. It is more effective in hot weather.

Been using Zaino leather cleaner and following up with their leather in a bottle conditioner. I use a soft Kiwi shoe polish brush to agitate the leather to get the dirt out of the pores. Leather smells like new again.

I think no matter what cleaning method you use, I'd 2nd following up with the protection cream to stop dye transfer. It's a huge problem on these lighter seats... Especially on the outer sides of the seats.

Used Leatherique just one time. There's a lot left in the Kit if anyone wants it. PM me if so. I mustve tried at least 20 different brands and keep coming back to this as my go to product. Meguiars Leather Cleaner & Conditioner .
