Lexol is great! Take it and spray onto a detailing brush (don't spray the seat). Lightly brush in circles till it foams. Microfiber wipe. Watch this video to see the process:
I have done this several times and my seats look smell and feel brand new (even when my car was 1.5 years old.). Any of the ammo NYC videos are just great advice and techniques. Good luck!

I used that on my blk rt leather with red stitch and it made the red stitch darker .
I still go crease in the leather as well.

I use adam's leather cleaner (diluted) and Adam's Leather Conditioner and it works great!
I use Zaino Z9 leather soft spray cleaner followed by Zaino Z10 leather in a bottle. A little bit goes a long way. Keeps the leather soft and the z10 has a leather smell. Also has SPF. Another benefit is it can be used on the vinyl dash. But I use aerospace 303 for that. Non of these leave the ugly shiny look along with the squeaky leather with other products I've used.
That's what I'm getting ready to use this weekend. Good to hear you recommend it

Have you tried the Total Interior Detailer yet? Great stuff!
Adam's Total Interior Detailer 16oz | Interior Cleaner and Dressing | Adam's Polishes
Look at the video in the link. Great stuff for leather
Ok, cool. Lot's of ideas. I have used Adam's stuff in the past for exterior stuff and it's been great. This may be a stupid question, but being that my interior is the radar red, I assume the products will all work the same regardless of the die color. Am I correct?

Adams will work with any color! But like Steve said, test spot
^^^Yes, test on small spot. And don't let the liquid, paste or whatever it is sit on the seat for a long time without wiping. A small drop of it can discolor if left on it. Don't know how long is long. But I put a small amount (drops) of the Zaino Z10 on each panel then rub in. The z9 is spray.
I even use this stuff on the steering wheel!

And always spray the micro fiber towel and not the seat surface.
I want to do mine this weekend and have the same stuff. What are your steps for application?
I've been a Chemical Guys fan for a while now and enjoyed the occasional surprise tester bottle thrown in the box when I make an order but always used a different brand of leather cleaner/conditioner. One time, one of those testers was "Leather in a Bottle" cleaner and conditioner. I've been a convert ever since. I consider that my main go-to but I also like to use those Meguiar's Gold leather wipes sometimes, followed with a microfiber buff.
Admittedly this is the best leather I've had in years, though. Previous leather interiors were more "pleather" and didn't really soak in conditioners very much, so cleaning them was more like cleaning vinyl.
I'm looking forward to watching this Nappa leather mature and get better with time and care.

No problems with getting any stuck in the perforations? I know the Griots specifically said its good for use on perforated leather which is one of the main reasons I went with it.
