I am seeing the dye from my cheap blue jeans coming off on my natural colored seat bolsters. Have to use leather cleaner to get it off. Anyone else see this?

My ELB has Sky Cool Grey and I use terry cloth seat covers when I wears blue jeans. Just take them off, the seat covers that is, when showing car.

Yes jeans always leave color on leather, I've seen it for years in many cars. That's one reason I like Black seats in a car. Unless you cover the seats with something or dont wear jeans, not much you can do about it besides the leather cleaner. A friend of mine has a 911 with light tan colored seats, every two months he uses leather cleaner and conditioner on the seats and gets all the dye from jeans off. He treats it like a part of regular maintenance and always does it

Most of the big detailing product companies are now offering a ceramic coating product for leather. I haven't tried any, but if nothing else they should make it a lot easier to clean off the blue.

Had the same issue with my 06C6 Titanium Gray interior as well as my 09 CTS with the gray interior. Hence the Jet Black on the C8 seats
