2010 LS 460 Seat Care
Recently purchased CPP 2010 LS 460 with ventilated parchment colored leather seats. Nay suggestions on how to clean/maintain/products so as not to cover the ventilation holes? Thanks in advance for your response!

I have used Lexol in the past and found it to be substandard. I prefer the Griot's leather wipes as they clean and protect in one step and the conditioner used will resist leather cracking.

Leather protection
I have been driving cars with leather interior for over 25 years. I now live in Delaware, but before I lived in the Sacramento Valley in California, where the heat and sun are very intense. My cars are used for pleasure, so they do not sit in parking lots at work all day and they are garaged when not in use. I wipe them down with a chamois cloth after washing and that is it. I have never had any cracking whatsoever. I usually have light interior, parchment, etc. I do have another one that has black interior and there has been so problems. My seats are perforated on the past three vehicles and I have often wondered if I used a cleaner/conditioner would it wind up plugging the holes and not allow heat and ventilation to pass through efficiently.

I am currently using Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner Gel (past 8 months) and I have been extremely satistfied with ease of use as well as it not leaving the seats,dash, doors, etc... that I apply it to feeling, looking or being greasy. Instead the leather feels soft to the touch with a pleasant aroma and most importantly not greasy. To me it seems to be a great product and gets the job done quite well and it's not expensive $10

“Take it to your dealer,” says Hubbard. “They have detail shops, and know the right steps to get stains out. Remember, these are the guys who detail the Lexus Certified Pre-Owned cars, and make them look like brand-new. Isn’t that who you’d want cleaning your car?”
At best the author is trying to prevent idiots from using household cleaners which will damage the cars interior and I have seen this done by people who don't know.

I highly recommend from my own experience Griot's leather wipes because the saturated wipe is lint free and easy to apply. In one step you can clean and condition leather seats and the wipe tub will last for years. The oils will penetrate the leather and keep it supple to resist cracking and drying out. This is the stuff that is used on antique leather interiors for preservation so I think it's more then good enough for your car. What I generally do is use one wipe per seat for the front and for the rear I use two to finish off. Do this every 6 months and your leather will last.

and do you also use this wipe on the fake leather furface area as well?
