Well I got my new rims put on last Friday and I wanted to know what are you all using on your rims? Do you wax them and if so what are you using?

I also wanted to really clean my leather seats. Up until now I was just using a universal cleaner but I would like to use something better. What are you using?

And lastly, What tires are you putting on your GX and what is the best price you got them for?

Thanks,

 

I use Rejex on my wheels. (And the paint, the glass, and everything but the tires) Brake dust will come right off with soap and water...I don't even own any kind of wheel cleaner product.

On the seats, I use Leatherique. It works great, but it's a pain to use and is time consuming. Not the kind of stuff you just wipe on when you wash the car.

Can't help on the tires...still have the Dunlops that came with it.

 

Which rims did you get?

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try to find them and get started.

Lexus replaced the OEM rims due to the corrosion problem that I was having.

 

I use Zaino Leather-in-a-bottle on the seats and 303 Aerospace Protectant on the doors and dash. On the wheels I use Zaino Z2 (same as what I use on the paint) and Wheel Wax, and water and car soap is all it takes to clean them.

 

I use lexol leather cleaner and conditioner once a year or as needed. Its a full day process. I do this because my kids are young and they typically drop food and occassionally spill liquids on the seats.

Also, it really hydrates and makes the seats really soft, supple and new looking.

Step 1. - Wipe down leather with damp cloth with Lexol Leather cleaner
Step 2. - Rinse with damp cloth until no more suds
Step 3. - Wipe with dry cloth
Step 4. - Put on some rubber gloves and lather the seats with the conditioner
Step 5. - Leave the car with the windows up for a few hours (preferably warm/hot day)
Step 6. - Wipe off the excess conditioner that wasn't soaked up by the seat.
Step 7. - Let seats sit over night. (I drive my other car if I need to go somewhere.)
