since the steering wheel is leather covered, how has that aged? the steering wheel in my friend's accord has turned into a shiny surface now. when i took a seat in the IS, i liked how matte and soft the leather steering wheel was.

the steering wheel ages well. it's easily scratched if you wear rings or by other hard objects. it responded well to the conditioner/cleaner i used unlike the seats which are still driving me nuts lol

Zaino's for our IS leather
i notice zaino's leather care is recommended by many CL members here.
which product exactly did u guys buy?
Is it this one? (the leather-in-a-bottle)

OR (soft-spray-leather)
http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...oduct_Count=13

threads merged. There is also an excellent thread on Lexus leather maintenance in the detailing forum.

meg gold class user here...i sit my car out in the sun for 3 hours then apply meg gold class on it then let it sit 3-5 hours more.... then i put it back in the garage...i was told from pplz on autopia.org that heat is the best thing to use when cleaning leather... some detail shops will turn the heaters on... full blast...

does your IS's leather squeak after the application of meg's gold class? i've been driving my car today and the squeaking seems to be getting better (though its cold up so i used the heat warmers and heater on full blast to warm the leather up)

Zaino Z-10 is the conditioner that has a great leather scent.
