Leather recondition?
My MY15 driver's seat is showing wear. What do you guys use to condition the leather? I don't believe any conditioner will get the leather look back to original, but I want to keep the leather from aging too fast (too much fine hair line to me).

Try Leatherique, the details are in this youtube video. I have been using this for a long time and works very well. I have had the best results when I coated the car with rejuvenator oil and left it outside in hot Texas sun (95+) for couple of days.
I have never used it on Lexus leather so try a small area first before applying it across all the seats.

Official Lexus leather cleaner and leather conditioner were replaced a couple years ago with similar products from Lexol.
I've used Lexol cleaner and Passier leather wax on the advice of wife's saddle maker...who I guarantee knows more about keeping fine leather in good shape v. an automotive detailer,
Steuben also makes a great leather conditioner. All are available on the web or at your local tack store.
My local Toyota and Lexus dealers have crazy pricing on the Lexol products.

Leatherique has been in business for a long time, and there are now other similar products to choose from. They all have their own groups of followers. The on line comments about all of them remind me of Ford vs GM vs Mopar posts. If there were one product that was affordable and clearly superior to the others, there would not be so many similar product lines available.
If you are interested in a quick fix to just soften old stiff leather, and don't want to tie up the car for days, or if taking sandpaper to your leather seats worries you, there is a one-step product called Leather CPR. I have had good results with it. But, while it makes the old leather soft and pliable, it does nothing for the creases and cracks.
Neither of the cars I did the full Leatherique on had perforated leather. I have no idea how it would work in those areas.
