Tesla Model S White Seats with Ceramic Coating still got weird stain

[SBDPlaid]

Doesn’t have to be jeans; culprit in my old car was black scrubs that you’d never think would be a problem

Guys, I found the perfect solution! No more jeans dye transfer!

True, just assumed it would have to be that since that seemed to be the most problematic from what I've seen on the internet. Maybe it's this coat, will report back on it

Damn, the Gyeon Leather Cleaner didn't do anything

Not surprised unfortunately
That detailer I talked to when I was trying to solve the stain issue said the only way is to actually re-die the material white

Yeah, I figured as much, but was worth a try

I know everyone is talking about not using a magic eraser since it's like sanding paper, but at this point maybe it is worth trying if you are going to re-die anyway?

Tried that and no dice unfortunately

I use colourblock.
Did the shield on my volvo and didn't clean for 6 months. Here is difference.

Are the pictures half shielded and half not or just cleaned one half?

That is dye transfer and even a ceramic coating will NOT prevent it to from happening to some degree with these white seats. And unfortunately it will NOT clean off all the way
I ran into this same issue with my old model S and tried EVERYTHING to no avail. It is an unfortunate reality with these white seats
I’ve tried Colourlock, ceramic coating, Gyeon, you name it I’ve tried it. Including some really hardcore dye transfer specific chemical cleaners from the clothing apparel world for leather and pleather purses. Absolutely NOTHING will clean it all off
I reached out to one of the premier Tesla detailers in the country who has worked on over 100 Teslas with white seats and got confirmation that nothing will fully prevent staining on them
It sucks but oh well—still got White seats in my new Plaid!

Did you ceramic coat the white seats in the Plaid? If so what brand and does it change the feel of the seats?
