Try Leatherique. I've seen some amazing results from the use of this leather applicant, and it really does an excellent job revibing the look of your leather seats. Check it out.

Should that be Soft Scrub w/out bleach?

You're right...DON'T get it with bleach. I've read some have used it with great success. Fast Orange w/o pumace is another, which is what asnatlas used.

For the lexus leather experts...would Fast Orange or Soft Scrub be ok to use on our leather?

Default 'cuz I had a coupon, you see....

I'm no expert, but I've used the Orange-flavored (!) Soft Scrub with good results. Cleans great.

Use a moist towel (keep a bucket full of water nearby) to soak up any dirt and white Soft Scrub residue afterwards, then follow up with any leather conditioner. Lots more Soft Scrub testimonials in other threads if you wanna search.

Try Simple Green. MAKE SURE YOU MIX IT WITH A LOT OF WATER. 20 to 2 mixture should be ok. condition leather after cleaning it.
