Default Interior Tan Leather

I'm narrowing my selection on another car but caught between the color of the interior. My previous GS had a black interior and was silver on the outside. The tan leather is rich looking but I worry ALOT about it easily getting dirty and scuff marks. I've searched and all I get is threads about cleaning the interior. But I really want to know is if the tan leather easily gets dirty. For the most, I'm the only one in the car. Wifey tags along sometimes in the front passenger seat here and there and my little nephews are in the car only a couple times in the summer when they come and stay with me for a week. Thanks.

Tan isn't that bad. You can keep conditioner on it and they won't get that dirty. Easy to clean as well light soap and a fine brush is what I use. Sorry to hear about your gs glad you are ok though. But in my opinion black interior is sexy.

I also have a tan leather interior. It shows grime easier than darker colors loke gray or black but easy to clean. I use Blue Magic Leather and Vinyl Cleaner which is inexpensive and works great. Juat add some ona microfiber cloth and the dirt and stains just comes off like butter.

I have tan leather in my 1995 Infiniti Q45a (I'm keeping it along with my LS 460). It still looks great after all these years. I only clean it about every 6 months, but keep in mind 90% of the time I'm the only one in the car. I've used various leather cleaner products. The last couple years I've used the Zaino leather cleaner.

Tan IMO looks pretty sharp when cleaned and conditioned.. I've had Tan interior in my last 2 cars and for next car i might budge and go to black leather.. Its not that i don't like the Tan i think i'm just ready for a change.. I've used Lexol, Mcguires, and Lexus leather cleaner/conditioner on my leather.. I'm currently using the Lexus brand from Sewell and its working pretty good..

Keep in mind i think the Tan last longer and shows less wear than the black. That statement maybe wrong but the black interiors i;ve seen seem like they fade quicker.. GL..

Thanks folks. At this point it looks like I'll be getting a interior black leather car but I won't settle for only that if an nice looking tan leather car comes up.
