Red face Restoration of a 13 year old Lexus ES 300
I am cleaning and restoring a 13 year old Lexus. What is the best leather conditioner to use? Also what gets that hard to remove black stuff off the interior??

Lexol pH cleaner & conditioner always treated me well.

Ive also heard very good things about Leatherique.

Leatherique is the best by far.

Leatherique, you won't regret it. Just make sure you don't get it on the carpets, it tends to leave stains. I didn't have to worry about that, because I also cleaned my carpets afterwards.

I'd recommend an initial treatment with leatherique then maintenance from then on with lexol.

I'm a big fan of Meguiar's products.

There is an entire thread dedicated to Leather Care in the detailing section on CL.
