Default Noob Question which parts of the interior are leather? 2007 LS 460

Hey guys this my first post on CL but i've been lurking for some time now, very useful sight with a lot of friendly folks, anyways I just picked up a 2007 LS 460 with 53k Miles the seats and the interior are not in the greatest shape its a ivory interior and I ordered leatherique to clean the seats and the armrest and wanted to ask you guys, what else is leather covered and would be safe for the leatherique? anybody here use leatherique on there LS 460? Happy with the results? any input would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

Many people here including myself use Lexol cleaner and conditioner. It is safe on all the leather surfaces - seat bottom, back, sides, headrest and armrest.

As with all cleaners use it sparingly. Most of the dirt can be removed with a damp microfiber cloth.

the armrest may not be leather depending on the model you have. same with the dash. otherwise if it looks like leather it is.

I was in the leather care forum yesterday and heard Leather Master was basically the best. I'm going to order some soon to try as well.

I have heard that some cars have extra leather on the door panels and the LS600's have a leather dash. I haven't seen any interiors different than mine though.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, I will try out leathrique as I already ordered it, I've seen Todd from detailimage.com use it on one of his clients LS 460 and the seats turned out perfect, I am going to give it a shot but I also heard about Leather Master and how great it is I might give it a try as well, and I like Ibintab's comment "if it looks like leather then it is" lol! thanks!
