Thinking about getting white seats??

[xkwizit]

It's exactly my concern. Got a lot of warnings from my friends that the seat might turn gray in one year, and the ventilation holes in the seat will trap dirt and looks bad...

I don't know what experience your friends have regarding car seats. We have had ventilated seats in our ICE cars even when our kids were younger. We did several road trips and we never had problems with the holes plugging up. Simple vacuuming works just fine.

We also did a 7day road trip recently with our Shadow Trooper (black outside/white inside) and a wipe with a moist napkin does the trick. The seats are super comfortable and don't heat up in the sun like our leather seats in the S do.

Nearly four months in, and I'd make the same decision again. So far, the white seats are awesome.

I am thinking of white seats how do they hold up to blue jeans?

Thank you so much! Do you have them? They look amazing from the photo's.

Nope. My fathers X hasn't been delivered (delivery 'specialist' says it will be around end September, I don't believe him) and it will not have the ventilated seats.

I haven't had any issues with my Levi's or kids jeans.

I haven't had any issues with my Levi's or kids jeans.

Likewise, I haven't had any issues with my AG or my wife's Hudson's - both of which are pretty heavily dyed.

Thats great news. Do you have the ventilated seats?? My DS tells me I get my X in 2-3 weeks. The anticipation is killing me!

View attachment 185048 View attachment 185047 Very happy with my Stormtrooper interior. Not same old same old.

Now I'd want white seats for sure. I love the contrast.

So, six months in, with 11 year old kids and football teams in the back, etc., the white seats and black plastic seat backs have held up perfectly.

Good to know, i have similar age kids and situation. but the most important piece of information is how often are you wiping down the seats and do you use anything special when doing so.
Im not a fastidious cleaner but i do have a no eating or drinking (other than water) rule in my cars, i do wipe obvious dirt/mud etc immediately but otherwise if its normal daily use it gets a clean down once a month.
Am i deluded.
? Will i need to develop better cleaning habits for my white seats to survive?

I also wonder how the white seats are holding up under wet conditions (e.g. wet weather, sweats, rain, etc..). In my MS after 20,000km, the tan leather has already got some blue and grey stains in areas where my jeans rub against most.

Dan, the humidity of my locale has done a similiar thing to my tan leather seats in my audi. Apparantly this doesnt happen with the white and jeans.
One way to find out and thats what im doing, buying them

My white seats haven't seen any rain. We have a couple more months before it starts up again, but it's a good question.

Check this out.

Great experiments.
If I saw this earlier, I would have taken white seats. But too late.

EVANNEX sells them.

Thanks for the info. Will consider to have one.
