The leather conditioner got caught in the holes of the leather and now both the driver and passenger seat have shiny spots and if light hits it right you can see white inside. How can I get it out? This sucks. I would take a pic, but my camera would not show what I am talking about.

 

lightly damped sponge or cloth maybe?

 

A horse-hair leather brush should do the trick. Use a little bit of leather cleaner (or a very dilute Woollite solution if you prefer) along with the brush. If you have a hard time finding one, a soft shoe shine brush will work as well...probably goes without saying, but just make sure it's either brand new or very clean.

 

the conditioner should dry up in a couple of weeks and you can vacume the residue out of the perforation.
The 'shiney spots' on your seats are either the leather conditioner's residue or the 'polishing action' of your clothes when you sit in the seats.

 

Good choices. Another option;

Use compressed air if you have access to a compressor. It's benign on the seats and works great at removing residue/ debris out of the perforations.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I will give all of them a try till I find a cure.

 

I live in florida and bought my car new off showroom in Jan... within six months the right seat has turned 2 shades lighter than the driver.. I never had a passenger.. it doesnt sit in sun.. and on top of that it has spots appearing out of nowhere on it.. quarter size.. mind you I rarely drive this car and it has only 1000 miles on it...ive not used ANY cleaners on it or made it wet or anything.. My opinion is this interior of the car sucks.. the dash is also showing "wear" already as the dealer tried to polish it up and made it worse than new. PLUS i could barely stand after i drove it one hour.... what a waste of money on a car.

 

the leather sucks and the seats are made for midgets, they have 0 thigh support. acura tsx seats are faaaaaar better with adequate support.

 

You guys dug up this almost 4 year old thread to say your leather seat sucks? lol

 

This is old indeed.

 

That's why when it came down to buying a Lexus convertible I went for the SC430. I do miss the extra techy stuff that was never updated though.

But honestly 6 months...I'm sure the dealer or Lexus corporate can do something about getting it replaced. My ecru is an 09 bought in November/December 08 and I'm the 2nd owner. So far so good with no problems and I drive with the top down every chance I get.

 

Hilarious.. The dealer?? where I bought it scratched the window 10 inches during the window tint.. took the window out to replace and dented the door...a week later the window didnt go down and yet had to repair it yet again..2 long scratches on the roof were buffed down where the top hits when it goes down...leaving yet another mark...and the dash and doors were "polished" up by the Palm beach lexus dealer so much after they had it that now it looks grey.... i have to take it to a dealer 120 miles away to see if they can "work their magic" HA..I'll NEVER buy a Lexus again!! Oh yeah thats in 2 weeks...after I bought it.. The stains on the seat I believe are the wash from the window tint which was dripping down the door into the speakers when i got it back and was also all over the outside of doors which dried and they never washed off.. now i have what looks like pale blotches on the doors and seats.. Yes sure WARRANTY ?? they should of taken this car back after the first scratch, dent and door being taken apart 2 times from their mistakes. Braman BMW never treated me like **** either.

 

ps my car is a 2011 is 350 c and the interior is no doubt INFERIOR for $50,0000!! the leg area where the console is IS HOLLOW and dents in when your knee hits it.. WTF? CHEAP CAR is all I can say.. the toyota solara is about the same.. as this car.. half the price. Oh wait the Lexus IS a Toyota.. Duh My mistake.

 

don't like lemon laws apply or something? Write to Lexus Corporate.
