Anyone cleaned their rioja red seats?

I have not experienced any color leaching when cleaning (with or without a cleaning agent). With the Nuluxe material, this is basically impossible since the color is part of the synthetic leather, not dyed like real leather.

Yeah that's normal for the first little while. I have the red seats and my jeans usually rub off on them. I wipe them every few weeks with just a damp microfiber cloth and it comes right out.

If you have F-Sport seats, then they are Nuluxe.

It did at first. Now it doesn't. As far as I can tell the colour looks the same as when I bought it so no real colour is coming off the seats. The only thing I see now on the cloth is some blue/black from my jeans.

I've been shopping for a White IS with red leather seats but now...might play it safe and go with black. I'll be transporting my son often so I know it'll be dirty which means I'll have to clean the seats often. Just afraid that sooner or later, it'll be a pink set of leather interior.

So the car has 11k miles on it and as far as I know, the previous owner drove it for 2 years and Id assume she never cleaned the seats
So that means the seats have only been cleaned twice (by the dealer and then by me) which would explain the colour bleeding. Ah well, I usually only clean the seats in my wife's car twice a year as she does low mileage anyway.

My friend got make up on my seats (not from crazy sex, lol. It was in her back pocket.) and I didn't bother cleaning it for a couple weeks until I got tired of looking at it. I ended up using armor all leather wipes while lightly scrubbing and it all came off. The wipes did not have any red residue and the color on the seat didn't seem to fade.
