it's because no one responds at that forum.
Besides, it's not really a wash/wax question. I just want to get an opinion

I've never used zymol, but I have used lexol and it is great. If you have been using a lexol conditioner on your leather and you still feel like it's getting dryed and wrinkled I would try calling lexol to talk to a representative. Maybe there is something else in their product line that would work better for you?

the unfortunate thing about the wrinkles is that you probably have 0 chance of getting them out anyways. Once your leather takes that path, it's not gunna come out. It sux, but that's the way it will be. The wierd thing is, if you look on Toyota's various websites thorughout the world (ie Japan, UK, here) sometimes the seats are very tight and smooth, and other times they have wrinkles at the stich and corner points. I think that toyota used a few different kinds of leather, and/or the method used to put the leather together.
Also, if you look closely, alot of times the front and back piece are a different shade on some celicas. While on my car, both the front and back are dark black.
I test drove a 2000 with beautiful TIGHT leather, I ended up buying a used 2000 and the seats looked totally different... I was pretty dissapointed, but like I said, I've seen bran new ones that looked the same so i'm a little confused as to what Toyota did here.

So I was thinking about replacing them. Where can i get the same toyota leather? what's the price?
I finally got some Lexol cleaner & conditioner for the seats in my car and am very happy with the results. Wish I took some pics. Basically, before they were a little faded and had some fine wrinkles that looked lighter than the rest of the seat. Also there's a scrape on the side of the drivers seat that really was an eyesore. After the Lexol the seats are back to their original rich black color. The wrinkes don't stand out anymore and the scrape is much less noticeable. I was worried that there would be a residue left over from the products, but the seats basically seemed to absorb the Lexol completely. Good stuff.
