did you use any strong products?
They are only supposed to be cleaned with water and every few months apply a bit of cream for leather.

 

I used a damp cloth. Could this just be the oils in the leather? The car is still very new.

 

Just making sure, but how do you know it's the leather dye? Is the part of the leather lighter? Maybe it is not the leather dye, just dirt?

What product did you use? I use Zaino or Swissvax (zaino is my favorite, smells good and works good) and would recommend both.

 

I don't know it is the dye. It isn't any lighter. But it isn't dirt--happens on many places and I've been extremely careful. It isn't like a lot is coming off, so I'm wondering if it is oils. But I don't exactly want to get in with a nice suit until I know. I'd also like to know my really expensive new dream car isn't made with defective leather.

 

What product are you using?

 

Since the car is just new, all I used was a dramp cloth. I haven't put anything on it. I got a thing of Lexol preservative, which I will put on soon. But I want to make sure things are okay first.

Thanks

 

It's fine. My prior M5 had Portland Brown interior and when I would clean the seats with warm water I would get some of the brown, mixed with dirt, on the wipe I used.

 

Just be glad you don't have jeans that turn seats blue.. That was a fun complaint to Nordstrom ;-)

 

I am always cleaning the blue from my jeans off my Platinum interior with zaino leather cleaner every 3-4 days. The interior is a lot of maintenance, so was my last one with Silverstone II though.

 

Michael_s: And you never had trouble with that getting on your clothes? I called me sales associate, who said he had had a similar thing on one of his cars but thought it was either dirt or something he had treated the leather with. He had nothing else to say.

Thanks
