With dark leather and the RX out here in Catral Texas sun, I am sure you would be adding a layer of fresh skin to the seats every time.

Had Ivory Leather on my previous RX350 and no issues with it. Dye markes from Blue Jeans wiped right off as did any grime etc.

I used a Glycerin Based Liquid Saddle Soap (and have done so for many years) but any PH Neutral soap will do.

Lexol is as good as anything else IMHO

Try Groits garage on line. They have an all purpose cleaner which works excellent and does not harm, or has not harmed my leather but cleans really great. Afterwards, I apply their leather conditioner.
Great Stuff.

I did some researching when I wanted to detail a little bit on the side and came up with Liquid Glass. It's the best cleaner I've ever used and I was a big Lexol fan before that. BMW leather is also good. The problem with the Liquid Glass is you have to make sure you have enough because it cleans so well, it leaves clean spots wherever it lands.
