Default Drivers seat fuzz

You guys will need to be patient with me, I'm an old car guy with a just purchased 2019 GS coupe. See the photo of my drivers seat. What is the fuzz? Is it wear? 4,800 mile car? My wife's Audi is doing something similar. What say you?

Hard to say for sure, but I don’t know what else that would be but some kind of wear on the seating surface. Perhaps take the car to a quality upholstery shop and see what they say.

My wife's 16 Escalade seats look the same way. It is like the color is wearing off.

I have small blemishes just like that on my Kalahari seats. It’s more prevalent in the area where my darling wife holds her hands and comes in contact with her diamond wedding ring.😝 They are small scratches actually.

Yup.
I took a close look with my reading glasses, its abrasion from pants spinning around on the seat, 4,800 miles. Former owner was 80, probably had a harder time getting his *** out than my 62 year old one. Nothing to be done I guess but have it recovered...for what?

You could touch up those areas with a leather dye if they drive you nuts.
