Anyone regret white interior?
- Thread starter MOD220
- Start date
Sounds like I'm in the minority but as much as I hate to say it, I regret getting the white interior. I have about 13K on them and they are showing "stretchmarks" and clothes color transfer (jogging pants/jeans/jacket), especially on the seams. This happened even with meticulously cleaning the seats and using GYEON Quartz LeatherShield when I first got it (used it a few times on the driver's seat).
I've tried a lot of different things I've found on YouTube and I actually just saw this video (
) so I'm gonna try his suggestion and see if it works.

As I have said before, my seats are clean and white, but I am starting to get "stretch marks". Will watch this video.
I definitely don't regret white seats, but I am definitely more careful than I would be had I not bought them.

love the white interior. I noticed this one portion of my seat seems veiny or has striations. Im not sure if this is from denim/dirt (i almost never wear blue jeans). Noticed it pretty soon after delivery and no matter what wont wipe off. Think its dirt/denim or some defect in the seats "leather?" Not sure how to go about fixing it

My driver's seat is like that after 20k miles. Maybe a bit lighter but doesn't bother me since I'm sitting on it and not staring at it.

I love the white interior. I always wear jeans and, so far, no discoloration - but then again I've only got a little over 1,000 miles on this baby. Since this isn't real leather, are leather protectors still preferred? What about Scotch-guard upholstery protector?

Interesting. The SC left a grease mark on my white seats during the HW3 upgrade. I had also applied Gyeon Quartz Leather Shield and the grease marks came off using the Gyeon Leather cleaner. Maybe depends on the type of stain ?

29k miles here, mine were looking pretty bad, I cleaned them with diluted leather cleaner and re-applied leather shield and they are almost as good as new. The piping is showing a little wear though, but I do have almsot 30k miles.
When I first got the car I had a box or pot from home depot on the back seat. It has something written in sharpie on the bottom of it, and had also picked up some moisture. There is now a permanent purple dot from it, but it is very small such that no one really notices. In fact it may be fading over time.

I think it was an almost empty bottle of adams, I don't remember how much I diluted it but at least 50% RO water went into it. (you could probably dilute it more i it's too strong).

I've had good results by coating the white interior with Ultima Interior Guard Plus. Any marks or stains have been easily removed with McKee's 37 Total Interior Cleaner.
Probably best if applied when the interior is new.

yes, I have just been uising a microfiber and water, maybe some ONR if it's real stubborn. Need to re-coat them every so often if they are not cleaning up easy.
I feel like such a noob...did even consider coating the seats when I first bought my car...but...Would you use the McKee's 37 before and after applying Ultima Interior Guard Plus? I want to clean them then protect them
Clean first, then coat/protect! So, use the McKee's 37 until you are happy with how clean the pleather is. Make sure it is dry and then apply the protectant/coating. I personally use Optimum Protectant Plus -- reapply every couple of months.
Once the seats are coated avoid using stronger chemicals for simple clean up. A damp microfiber towel may be all that is necessary. If not, use some diluted all purpose cleaner (McK 37 is fine, but I'd dilute it down).
