I am wanting to make a purchase on a beige interior car... I want to know how well the leather ages over time.. I plan to keep it for 3-4 years and don't want the seat or wheel to get dirty..

I had a cayenne for about 8 months and the seat was constantly needing to be wiped when I wore jeans...

Tia!

 

if you like denim, maybe pick a darker color. I don't like how the beige ages over time.

 

My only concern is it getting stained. My cars get detailed every few months and cleaned regularly.

 

I've never seen any mention of people having any problems with any color leather.

 

I wear blue Jeans alot, and my seat's did show alittle blue wear off on hot days until I conditioned and sealed the leather with a ICE product from Turtle Wax, No more problems and the leather looks and smells like new.
Remember, Light color = Cooler seat surface.

 

Have the sand beige perforated leather (ventilated seats) - but only 11 months in (2009 C4S). No staining or evident wear and I also wear jeans frequently. Although, in MN, not a lot of "hot leather" days! And, if it is hot, the seat ventilation is quite effective.

 

Thanks for everyones feedback. I will have to find a leather protectant so I can just wipe it off if it gets dirty..

 

Although I do not know a lot about the beige leather, I do know a thing or two about jeans. It is not going to come down to the leather but the jeans in fact. If you have a normal pair of every day Jean (Gap, BR, Levi, etc) you will be fine. But if you like the nicer jeans like I do (Lucky, Diesel, etc) they will bleed color for a long time. Although a leather sealer might work dont count on it 100%.

 

I noticed this with my cayenne when I had True jeans they would leave marks...

Any recommendations on the best leather sealer and cleaner? Be nice to have some wipes in the trunk in case marks show up I can just wipe

 

Every time my plain ol' Levis leave some dye behind - even jeans that are so old I don't recall when I bought them - last century I'd guess.

But it wipes right off with some leather clearer (Griots) - just don't like mucking with the leather than often - maybe no harm...

Gotta check into that Turtle Wax Ice stuff...(I use Ice on the exterior - great for black).

 

I have a MY06 cab with the beige interior. I learned from Autopia.org, then bought Wolfgang Leather cleaner and leather conditioner products that effectively clean and then condition my seats. Highly recommended!!

 

Beige is a Beautiful color and with some exteriors it is the nicest, but I have had cars with it before and it is a maintenance nightmare. I recommend Black floor mats ASAP. Having gone through it, I now Avoid the color, but price talks and if it is only you using it, then you should be able to avoid the issues.

 

I have beige/black interior. Whenever I wear ol' jeans, I place a 1x1 ft microfiber cloth on the seat bottom cushion, and I sit on that. I never wear new jeans when driving the p-car for fear that they will permanently stain the seats. Call me silly and ****, but my seats look almost new after 4 years. My other car has black Merino leather, and I never really think about what I wear when I drive it. The leather is tougher I think, and it doesn't show stains at all.
