Default Parchment Maintenance

For those of you who have/had parchment interior (or a similar color), how time-consuming was it to maintain? Did it constantly look dirty or smudged?

I would recommend looking into leatherique rejuvenator oil and prestine clean. I don't have any experience with parchment leather, however i bought a neglected '00 LS400 last year, used those products, and now the seats look close to new. I couldnt believe the transformation. I'm sure you can get your leather seats to look brand new for many years with those 2 products by using them once a year.

Agreed. There are good cleaners out there. I had a similar condition with our 2RX at the time then after using Mother's leather cleaner-conditioner, was like new!

MR2turbo, out of topic, I assume Gen2 MR2? I had one and loved it

Do your (canadian) F-Sports offer leather interiors? If so, I'm jealous. Here in the states they only offer the Nuluxe interior on the F-Sports (IS). I'm not very familiar with leather cleaners so I'm not sure if they're suitable with this synthetic material. let us know what you end up using. =)

No leather for the F-Sport in Canada as well, so none for N.America.

I used Mothers in my CT (black Nuluxe) a couple times and cleans well though dirt hardly showed on black seats in the first place. I'll be using the same bottle on my 3IS F-Sport.
