I have been using Lexol with great results but from reading some of these posts it sounds like cleaners can actually damaged the coating on the leather.

Leather gains it's strength and durability via hydration, and becomes brittle and dull when dry. So, a well preserved and hydrated leather surface will be less apt to damage, cracking and loss of color as would a dry and brittle surface. I think the interior in my '08 TL is proof enough, flawless and beautiful, just like it should be.

Good job bro! That's a well kept interior! and the driver's seat still looks really good.

I use Pinnacle Leather Combo and it has kept my 2005 Roush Mustang looking new for years.

I have good luck with the Meguiers wipes. They work nice on the perforated Acura leather. I still use cream for the bolsters

For leather cleaner i would go with DP Interior Cleaner http://www.autogeek.net/dp340.html

I tried the expensive stuff and cheap stuff on the market and the DP really knocks it out of the park. Usually on sale for $12 to $15 for 32oz.

I have always used Lexol but here as of late I have been using Griot's leather care. It leaves behind a natural matte look and the inside of my TL smells like leather heaven!
