I’ve been wanting to do that too, but...
  • “Avoid use on white/light colored interiors”
Please see post #12 onward in this thread. Cquartz leather protectant, white interior

I recall verifying this information 3 months ago from the manufacturer but cannot find it now. Edit: I just emailed them.

I got this product in August and it is still on my desk. lol

Also there was this: https://carproforum.com/showthread....-Leather-Coating&p=18054&viewfull=1#post18054

Yes, we discovered just a few days ago, the suedes we use now with water based dye have some bleeding affect with the CQuartz leather formula which can leave a slight tint to the coating and could possibly be visible on white leather. So we are replacing all the applicators now in our kits. On dark leather you would not see an issue.

Car pro got back to me about using their product on White Tesla seats.

Our latest new version is OK for this, but it must be 2019 edition
Otherwise better not use the former version on it
And always test first on inconspicuous area for 24 h before doing the whole seats

Just be careful with magic eraser, it's abrasive and shouldn't be used regularly.

Agreed, use it just for occasional spots on the seats. But regularly on the windows, and the interior door trim I tend to kick with my boots getting out of the car.

Bringing this topic back to life because the Jean transfer is REAL. I've tried baby wipes and Clorox wipes and it's not taking the seats back to factory or close to factory. Also the seats were ceramic coated when they were new.

Looking rough. Any tips?

Try onr. Also ceramic is needs to be re applied every so often. 6 months to a year for seats.

Applied like 5 months ago. Hmmm

ONR cleaner? Do you happen to know what the full name is ?
Optimum No Rinse, if that does not work you could try a diluted leather cleaner. I mix the ONR at detail spray strength.

I need to redo my ceramic on my seats too.

I'm not sure if ONR will work better than Clorox wipes though. But it sure is handy to have around anyways.
