Lexus RX 350 40,000miles garage kept well taken care of, need a good product for maintaining the leather seats(some perforation holes). Decided to keep it for awhile and want to do interior. Thanks ---

You tube will have all kinds of detailing videos. Actually the auto section at Wally World will have almost anything you need. The really good web site is Auto Geek. ---

When I owned my Lexus, I used a few different products but found that [Griot’s Leather Care](https://www.griotsgarage.com/category/education+leather+care.do) was the best for the perforated leather. Although it is a little bit viscous (not so much gooey as thick), it does not plug up the holes at all. Before applying, I would use Griot’s interior cleaner first, then a good wipe with a damp cloth. My leather was white (Alabaster in Lexus-speak) and it was in a convertible. The before and after look was dramatic when I would do the treatment late fall. The grime on the white shop rags I used was impressive. The Griots leather care can be felt on the seats for about a week after you put it on, but don’t worry, that eventually goes away. It feels sort of slippery until it cures or whatever. This image is from a BestRide story I did about convertible care. I have no affiliation with Griots and have never accepted anything of value from the company (not even a free sample). ![Convertible-cleaners](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/1/119bcdcbeeee2280f9e502d7cbc85be53e567285.jpg) ps - I owned a 2011 RX350 at one time and it is still owned by a person I sometimes see. The leather has held up very well over the seven or so years in that vehicle. Sorry, no picture of that one. ---

Perforated (the little holes) leather wants a liquid product and NOT a creme. If you use the creme, it will fill the holes, look awful and be really tough to clean out. Personal experience!! There are a number of products in a pump spray bottle that can be applied to a microfiber cloth and THEN wiped on the leather. That nearly eliminates any mess in the perforations. ---

Whatever product(s) you decide to try, I’d recommend trying them on a discreet area before going gung-ho with them. ---

Leatherique. It’s the best. Follow the directions, and do it on a good and hot summer day. ---
