Reddit mentions of Maxshine Leather Nylon Bristle Brush for Car Detailing Carpet Upholstery

So I used the Lexol cleaner on my seats recently and it worked great. Didn’t leave behind a smell really at all and made the seats feel softer to the touch (and cleaned them). I bought a little leather safe cleaning brush on amazon. Mind you this is on my 2008 is350. As far as I know, the seats are actually leather on the 2is, however they are coated with a plastic sort of layer. I read into it a lot and what I found was that the cleaner does what you want it to do - cleans the seats, but the conditioner is not necessary. Because the seats are coated, the conditioner is not able to penetrate the leather, and so what you would be left with is a greasy layer on top of the seat that ends up rubbing off on your clothes.

What I did was wet the seats a bit, apply cleaner with microfiber cloth (I bought some little microfiber applicator pads from Walmart who also now carry lexol) and then use your brush to scrub the seats (I did it in kind of a circular motion). Do one section at a time and then wipe off with clean microfiber and that’s it! Worked really well and it didn’t have a bad odor and very little residue left over when it was all done.

Here’s the brush I got (did a ton of research on this, careful which one you go with because many of them shed badly, did not notice this shedding one bit).
