I've not had any problems with the cashmere. We liked it so much we ordered it in our 07 Silverado.

Zaino leather cleaner takes away my blue jean blues very easily.

It's just a minor annoyance now.

Two years and mine looks like new. I clean and condition it often and park it in the garage.

I just traded my '05 with this color interior. It looked brand new. I wear blue jeans just about all of the time.

No problem here. The better brands of jeans will not transfer dye. Some of the cheaper stuff from Indonesia, Taiwan, may bleed into the leather.

Yes and No. The light tan leather always shows dye transfer from jeans. Also the light gray will do it also. It has nothing to do with the C6s color or leather, however my 1994 Polo with tan always had issues with dye transfer. I use a product called "The Tannery" its a leather spray cleaner and it always removed the stains.

2006 LMB/Cashmere here, and there is absolutely no color transfer on my seats. I use ArmorAll leather cleaner/conditioner - I clean it every so often, and it still looks great!

2005 with cashmere and no problems here. I just keep it clean with the Zaino cleaner and then use their leather conditioner. The stuff works great.

I heard of a guy that bought the Cashmere interior that had a big red dot in the middle of it, but at least it was discounted!
