Detailing Supplies
Hi CL Members,
Where can I find locally a place that carries professional detailing supplies? In particular I am looking for sprays/cleaners for my leather seats. Please reply with any advice as well re products you have had luck using...
Thank you, as always.

For your leather seats, you can just use diluted woolite for cleaning and then use 303 aerospace protectant. Since the leather in the 2IS is vinyl coated.
Manual recommends using woolite too for leather seats. I use 303 on my seats for protection. Non-greasy, not shiny, not smelly and it's SPF40 for my seats
.
If you really want to, you can order some Leatherique restorer and conditioner, or some Lexol. Lexus dealers might sell some leather care stuff too.

Leather seats: saddle cleaner & rehydrater & oil ... you can get it at tac store ... but it does mean going out to like Cloverdale. Stuff is amazing though, can't remember the exact name rite now.

If saddle cleaner is the same thing as saddle soap, I would avoid it.

We used to have horses & ride. We still have all the leather stuff (saddles, bridels, etc) & we've always used the same stuff on them as we do in the cars. These guys sound like they're talking about actual soap, or they bought some knock off or something. What I'm talking about leaves your leather rehydrated and buttery soft.
Next time I'm in the basement I'll look and see what the bottle says for the name.

Thanks everyone. I went with Jetfire's advice re the two products. I just finished the detailing and was glad to see my towels werent too dirty after cleaning, and that the interior shine/reflection is minimal...
