Very nice job, but I can't get too interested in a truck.

Nice turnaround. That leather was pretty trashed.

Nice turnaround as always. Mom has an RX with the same color interior that she absolutely trashes (just removed lipstick from the headliner, nail polish from the driver's seat and wheel, along with gum, yes gum stuck to the passenger seat) and the leather is in amazing shape. Lexus does a great job on the interiors because they look brand new after a cleaning where my 05 TL looked like shit after 2 years and me being meticulous about it.
On another note, wasn't expecting to see such beefy tires on there.

Amazing-I wasn't sure the interior could look that good again.

As far as asking prices, I'm sure it differs from client to client and what is needed to bring back that show room look. I'd also think it's a tad personal affair, maybe not.

Missing my
Beige interiors in both our cars + 15 month old and a baby due in April...
Oh well, I just try to stay on top of it! Honestly though, my old black interior showed some stuff (like formula) much more easily.
