Default Ivory duo

I just put a deposit on a lightly used R coupe with ivory duo seats. Has anyone had any trouble with stains on the white seats? My wife is afraid denim might rub off on them or something like that. Any thoughts?

I'll have had my car a year in May. The seats are pretty much as new -- no issues at all (and I do wear jeans in the car).

I like the look of them, but can't help otherwise.

I own the ivory seats but don't wear jeans in the car often (although my passengers aren't as compliant as I am). I don't notice any color transfer on either seat.

I have ivory colored seats in my Land Rover which is now 7 years old I mostly wear jeans in it. The colour is starting to wear a bit on the drivers seat edge where you slide in and out but there has never been problems with colour transfer

I have Sabbia, lighter than ivory, in our 2 year old Maserati. Treated with GTECHNIQ L1 Leather Guard once and have never had a problem. Very easy to put on.

I've had blue dye transfer from wet jeans (caught in the rain) on my camel duo seats. Pretty sure it's an issue with some jeans not being colorfast rather than a material flaw with the leather seats.

You clearly pay too much for your designer jeans. That won't happen with a $14 pair of Kirkland's.

For anyone that makes a mistake like I did (buying $15+ jeans ), this stuff combined with a microfiber cloth lifted all the dye right out and had my seat looking brand new again in about 3 minutes.
