Default Grey interior question

Minor question for those with the grey or two-tone grey interiors, have you noticed any difficulty with keeping the center console portion with the shifter/mode selector/cup holder clean? I'm considering this, but just wondering if this becomes a problem area down the road, and wondering what the real world experience has been here.

I've had my two-tone grey since the end of August and it still looks brand new. No issues at all. I've just wiped it down every so often.

I had an Infiniti with light gray interior and two MBs with light beige interior....no issues, so I ordered my C8 with Sky Gray interior. You do have to occasionally clean it.....like you would any interior

I had an 06C6 with Titanium Gray interior that I never had an issue with. Change the seat covers out in 12 to two tone and still no issues. Had an 09 CTS with gray interior and got stain from jeans on the driver seat but was able to get the stains out with good leather cleaner, I'm not worried about the sky gray two tone in the C8
