For any of you that have Ivory colored seats, how well does it seem to hold up? It looks stunning, but I'm concerned about how it's looks will last under the assault of Blue Jeans and other day to day abuses.

I ask as I've found a car I like, but it's the oyster/ivory interior option. Any feedback from those that own that color would be much appreciated!

 

I have just prchased a 2009 XF supercharged vehicle with the ivory interior. I can tell you that there is a blue hue on the drivers seat (in rear of seat) and at the bottom of the back seat. I asked jaguar what could be done to take this discoloration off the seats and they had informed me there was nothing they could do. I tried "409", and leather cleaner with no positive results.

 

I had a Jaguar X-Type with Ivory seats and they did seam to be more delicate when it came to staining from denim jeans.

 

I have a 2003 with ivory seats. Except for a little wear on the drivers side, it looks like new. I use connelly hide care that I got at the dealer to keep it looking good. They said to use a damp cloth to clean it first if you need to. I don't have kids and neither did the last owner.

 

I have the ivory seats in my 2008 XK. They actually hold up pretty well. The only problem is a small area where the stiching has frayed and darkened a bit right at the dreaded side bolster adjacent the driver's door. Repeated cleaning hasn't helped. I have been looking for a method of dying the seam back to its original ivory color, but have found no solutions yet...

 

<nods> Thanks all. After looking at Ivory in person at the local dealership and investigating a couple of other options, I think I'm going to go for Caramel.
