Default interior detailing questions - advice needed

Hello all

I want to clean the interior of the is250, it has light beige leather and other soft material...


On my second car which has black leather i use: Turtlewax ICE ALL-IN-ONE INTERIOR CLEANER & PROTECTANT

https://www.turtlewax.com/shop/produ...ner-protectant

I might not want to use the ICE for the IS250

What do you guys use for the light colored leather on you IS250

And what do you guys use on the other interior parts of your car

Please let me know

Thank you

Damp microfiber cloth by water for the interior that's all you need.

I've used Turtle Wax Ice AIO for all of my cars since it came out...black, light beige, and red leather. One of the best in-store products that I've used

Yes, that's all I've used for an all black interior but because the is250 has light beige seats and all, I'm a little worried of staining as it would show more on beige than in a black interior...

Thanks

There is way to much information on the net. Makes my desicion impossible

Some cleaners are no good some have oils and chemicals yada yada yada

Water based cleaner and protectant like Leather Master is the way to go. Anyone ever used LM ?

Thanks

I use a California Duster and a damp micro fiber cloth. On the windows I use Invisible Glass and a dry micro fiber cloth. If something gets really dirty I then use the Turtle Wax Ice AIO, but only if needed.

The Lexol leather cleaner (orange bottle) is perfect and in my experience has caused absolutely no harm to Nuluxe. I have the grey (basically white) Nuluxe interior which very easily shows any dirt or dye transfer. It makes the seats look and feel brand new. If it's gentle enough for leather it will be great for Nuluxe.

I don't use the Lexol leather conditioner (brown bottle) however on Nuluxe.
