Ice grey interior

[nelly111s]

Anyone with Ice Grey interior care to comment on how easy it is to keep clean? Does it stain at all with jeans? Have you had it coated with anything on the leather?

No coating and I often wear jeans in the car. No staining from them at all. I like to keep my car interiors clean and tidy and a quick wipe with a damp microfibre is all that's required if it shows any grubbiness, but I haven't had to do it yet.

2000 miles in with my Ice Grey - and I'd say it can pickup marks from jeans (not mine oddly, but the multiple people I've let sit in it, so must be the kind of colouring of these jeans!?) - a damp cloth removes quickly however.

I’m here in the USA. Listening to all the early adopters going through grow pains of a brand new production vehicle ownership had me sitting on the fence too long, therefore missing out on lower prices. However, the new extended color options may have won me over again.

My spec so far:
V6 manual
Atlantis blue with black pack
silver wheels with yellow calipers

My heart tells me to go with the ICE Grey interior, but my gut says keep it simple and go black leather.

To all those who have ice grey interiors, how are they holding up? Are you still happy with your choice? how has maintenance been?

thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum @TechDad! There is another thread about Ice Grey interior here. I'm going to move these posts over there to keep things tidy.

1500 miles in my Ice Grey, took 10 mins to coat with Gtechniq Leather Guard on day one and occasionally I'll wipe it with a damp cloth. Still looks factory fresh

Yeah is a must coating the leather for quick maintenance and clean

Mine in tan leather is better than new after 3500km

I was doing good with my ice grey interior but made the mistake of wearing a leather belt and it rubbed off onto the bottom of the seat back. I got most of it off with a towel and water but I need a good cleaner to get it all off I believe. Any suggestions?

I use Dr. Leather, as recommended by my local detailer (even though he's a dealer for other products). It has worked great, not just on the ice grey, but the LR Defender, too.

I have ice grey, and I did Gyeon about 1000 miles in. No problems with dye transfer, but I haven’t worn brand new jeans or other clothes with bright dyes either.

No problem keeping it clean, just wipe it down if something makes a mark.

I’m glad I went with the light interior. It makes the interior space feel airy and visually is pleasing while driving.

Gyeon coating makes light leather not a big deal.

I also use their coating. 9000 miles in and I’m happy I did.

You guys smoking crack?

I have ice interior and it’s ceramic coated, wear black pants and black shirts and my seats are extremely dirty and hard to keep clean. I have to clean them after almost every drive.

Dude? Where are you buying your clothes from? How sweaty are you? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHILE YOU DRIVE? All black clothes- are you an undertaker? Steve Jobs’ ghost? Maybe it’s not the best car for you.

Just kidding! That does look horrible! Maybe the leather didn’t get some finishing chemical from the factory that it was supposed to?

Your guess is as good as mine. I tried a new leather spray cleaner and it’s been working really great, but I can easily imagine getting my seats reupholstered after 20k miles. I’m at 4,300 now
