couple of thoughts...
first you did not indicate which lexol product you were using.
they make two- a cleaner and a preservative. be sure to use the cleaner first.

i agree with 2002s2k- townsend leather products are great- in fact my fav; lexol is my second fav for leather.
but same thing applies- be sure to use the cleaner first and then the preservative

I use demin water: woolite solution (6:1 Ratio) to clean the interior.

For the leather I condition with Tanner's preserve
For the Vinyl I condition with Pooboys Natural look or Meguiers #40.

All these products provide a very nice matte finish on the suzuka blue interior.

I have tried the townsend material and this is my second choice.
I personally do not like the lexol products on my seats either

I use Zymol leather cleather & seperate leather conditioner and it gives fantastic results. I have even used it on the sleeves of one of my jackets and they were really dirty and it came up a treat.

I use this cool easy stuff. Armor all leather cleaner pads and looks great and feels great after your done. Just wipe on and bam!

Then your interior will look new with the vinyl pads

Both only cost me under 10 bucks!

Do you guys have any problems with the cleaner getting into the little holes in the seats? I have the meguiars cleaner + conditioner and I have to pretty much soak it into a shoptowel before I can use it or it will fill up the tiny holes in the seats.
