Great to see finally some Lexus owner has tried this new Car Pro product on the Nuluxe seat. Does the product make the Nuluxe softer to the touch? Thanks.

The stuff that makes it soft is Ulitma Interior guard. I'm debating on these two! I'm sure the Quartz is better as far as protection!

On the other hand, the OP actually refers to some coating applied to vinyl.

One question I have in my mind is how does these coating differ from traditional vinyl and leather conditioner in terms of making the surface stay supple or prevent the surface from dry up over time?

For the plastic of the centre panel (climate control, audio and the plastic around the shifter, etc), I have used Gtechniq C6 matte dash as it claims some abrasion resistance, followed by some vinyl sealant called Jeff Werkstatt Satin Prot as Gtechniq C6 won't hide any existing swirl nor it adds any stain look (it makes the surface stay OEM look)

Might protect longer? Might have better luck asking that in the detail forum.
