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

 

Zainos leather in a bottle, can't beat the scent!

 

i use meguiar's gold class. the squeaking goes away in like 2 days for me. it smells good too

 

zaino every where. steering wheel. chairs. the side of the door. arm rest. down to my shift ****. do it all or dont do it at all right?

 

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)

want to try Zaino's products but didnt know which to choose. certainly need advice from CL members here.

also, what';s the smell like? does it smell coconut like lexus leather conditioner?

 

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

 

i got lexol today, and wow that stuff works. my head rest felt like sandpaper due to the sun hitting on it. used some lexol n its feels like new now.

 

what, you drive naked?

 

well i could... why like pics? not cheep you know say... a fully painted JP bodykit should be worth pics of me

 

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)

 

i've been using lexol on my seats and meguiar's nxt tech protect on the dash.

 

does the steering wheel end up being shiny though?

 

Zaino Z-9 is a cleaner.
Zaino Z-10 is the conditioner that has a great leather scent.
