2018ES350

The 2018 ES that the wife and I recently picked up has the parchment interior. I’m imagining this will be a pita to keep clean, and have been searching around online for a good cleaner. I found Sonax upholstery and alcantera cleaner and was wondering if anyone has used it with any luck, or may have found anything else that works?

My first Lexus was a 2013 with Parchment leather interior. I found that the blue from my jeans was coming off and staining the leather. I asked on this forum, as you're doing now, and a long time member suggested Ultima Interior Gel. I ordered it and never looked back... I'm quite sure that there are numerous threads with answers to your question and would suggest that you do a search to locate other opinions... You will find many, many, suggestions.

Thanks, I’ll search the forum. I’ve never even heard of Ultima Interior Gel so I’ll look it up.
I’m thinking the most difficult to clean will be the soft suede-like stuff on the A-pillars, headliner, and visors.
I still can’t believe they put that material on the visors!

The best and the cheapest way to clean the leather is Woolite and water. I been using this on my cars forever! I too have Parchment on both of our cars, and when we wear jeans, I use the Woolite and water mixture, usually I use a 10:6 ratio, 10 parts water, 6 parts Woolite. Give it a try, you will really love it!
