Wow, that thing was dirty! Dirty as my X5 (now that the fiancee has been driving it :().

Been using Zaino leather cleaner. May try some of that Sonax leather spray.

Dan

those are some pretty beefy tires for quiet lexus

A perfect example of why I will never get a tan interior. Great job on the detail as always.
