My 2015 C7 with 2LT AR interior has ZERO issues with denim transfer. However, I wear the same jeans in my 2017 MB C300 with light beige “MBTech” seats and the dye transfer happens all the time. I use Poor Boys Natural to clean the seats, wipes right off. So perhaps the Milan seats in the C8 are less prone to transfer than the Napa leather in the GT2 seats?

Did you get two tone?

I am getting a very obnoxious glare on the front windshield reflecting the white strips on the top of the dash. I had my seat treated to keep the stain issue at bay. Or at least washable. Get the leather treatment from a professional detailer. We are not talking about leather conditioning.

Do you experience a glare on the front windshield? It would be comming from the white strips on top of the dak.

This an excellent combination. Well done.

Although i love the color combination i chose, it seems that long term these seats are going to require extensive care and constant cleaning. Those of you who are on the fence about ordering this color, i would think about it twice and maybe go with the two tone black/gray option instead of the entire seat sky cool gray.

With that said, for those of you that have sky cool gray, what are you guys using to clean the seats?
I have sky cool gray. I had the interior ceramic coated along with the exterior. so not sure if that's what made the difference, but no issues whatsoever (haven't needed to clean them yet except to vacuum). I have had light gray interior on an Infiniti and Acura, as well as, tan/beige on two MB's. I will admit, more care is needed but not earth-shattering effort.
