Yurka, congratulations on your new RX. There are many products and simple techniques to take care of your leather. I suggest you look at the Detailing forum here on Club Lexus. There are a number of threads there, including a long FAQ that may be of interest -- it's a better place for questions about taking care of your RX that are not specific to it. Check this one out. I personally have had great luck with Zaino leather care products and am currently using Leather Masters on my parchment interior with really good results. There are many options. Take a look at the threads there, and then ask some more questions and we'll try to help give you more advice.

Have used Lexol products for a long time now on a variety of vehicles without problem. Easily found.

You may also find more answers in the detailing section of Club Lexus.

I would stay away from Lexol. The cleaner might be okay for occasional use, but stay away from the "conditioner". Conditioner is not for our type of leather. Conditioners do NOT penetrate down to the actual leather so it sits on the surface and creates a waxy buildup that is sticky and actually attracts more dirt. You need to get yourself a decent leather cleaner and a "Protection" product to apply once the leather is clean. I'm currently using Leather Masters cleaners and protection cream. They work great. I actually used it yesterday for the second time. There was some blue jean dye transfer on our passenger seat so I used the Strong Cleaner as recommended and it lifted it right off. I backed it up with the protection cream and it looks good.
