Lexus has it's own products but after year of owning a Lexus, the leather is not that particular with what you put on it. Other will say different but I have used Mothers and Meguires and they work fine. Lexus leather has a coating so you are really not moisturizing the leather, but are taking care of the coating they put on it. The Meguires product, I think it is called natural shine, has worked well for me on both RX and LX models.

Some me will freak out that you are not using the best of Saddle soaps but I have found it really does not matter. Just keep it clean and enjoy.

this is likely get moved over to the wax,wax and detail forum

I learned leather masters is really good.

the key is to get leather masters protective barrier and leather master dye transfer and apply both

this way it helps protect you against dye transfer and stains

make sure you upkeep it and do it monthly and use a nice warm rag to clean it

also vacumm it to prevent any particles from rubbing up against you causing abrasion

Check the
automotive care and detailing forum. There's tons of recommendations in there.
