@codex57 I'm planning to keep my X for 2 decades and to do annual update videos on my white seats.

I'm another X owner with UW seats. 1 year in, 20k miles, lots of road trips and a pomeranian that we allow all over the UW seats... and not a single spot anywhere on any of the leather that we haven't been able to wipe off with a damp cloth. I keep said cloth in the drivers door pocket and I get extreme pleasure every time I wipe off the pomeranian's foot prints with just one swipe of the damp cloth.
I believe this is a property of the pleather, and not a coating. I heard it was designed from the ground up with the intention of being unstainable.
one worry I do have, but have yet to see, is that the stitching might end up getting a little grimey eventually, as that is not the same fantastic material.
zero regrets with the decision to go UW, and I still love dismissing peoples comments about "but how do you keep them clean?!?" or "why did you choose a color so hard to keep clean?" - just bust out that damp rag and watch their jaws drop.
Your posts are super helpful for folks like me who are agonizing over whether to switch to UW (Model 3 non-P AWD order July). Now, almost a year later, how are the seats? Any regrets?
I’m up against a problem that I can only answer from folks like you. My husband doesn’t want white because he thinks it will wear badly over five years. So, he wants evidence to the contrary, which is hard to come by!
