Default How is your white & blue interior holding up?

Hi guys. I'm deciding between the white/blue and the toasted caramel interior color. The white and blue looks absolutely gorgeous but I know it get dirty easily.

For those who have the white/blue interior, how are your white seats holding up after years of driving?

Thank you~

I have white on a few cars including the LC ... You just need to get a high quality ceramic coating and it's easy clean. Be careful of the coating brands though because some will yellow semi aniline leather. xpel just released a bulletin to all it's partners to not use their ceramic on white leather due to potential yellowing. You can also go with zurich shields. It's lower quality and the stuff the dealer will advise. If you do go zurich shield don't bother with the 7 year warranty just do the one year ... it's the same product used for both.

Get yourself a good ceramic on them and they are easy clean.

Agree completely with zissis.

I’ve had 0 issues with my vert’s white and blue interior, including cleaning up a monstrous bird mess on my white back seat without issue or trace…don’t ask how it happened …since I had my OCD cleaning products in the trunk.
Granted, I haven’t had years of experience with the interior but no issues so far, and the bird mess disaster was a BIG test!

Get the interior colour you want and enjoy it!

You car is so clean
[ Get the interior colour you want and enjoy it! ] I totally agree! I might get the toasted caramel with nori green cuz the tree combo looks really unique too.

Thank you, I'll definitely look at the ceramic coatings

I bet the Nori Green and Toasted Caramel would be a gorgeous combination, especially the Nori Green sparkle in the sunshine!!!☀️

Agree, one of our RXL's was that combination. Best part was I don't believe I saw another one around here with those colors.

Another consideration are reflections on the windshield. The toasted caramel interior has quite some reflection which can be distracting. I heard this from an owner before I bought mine and then switched to the red/black interior.
The white/blue has the dark blue above the gauge cluster, so you won't have distracting reflections.

What specific products do you keep in your trunk to use for your interior/exterior? Thx.

A good friend suggested keeping my “go to’s” in a light weight duffle bag.

I carry a bunch of typical name brand producers like Chemical Guys, Meguiar’s, Mother’s, and Adam’s.

I use Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner and Leather Nectar. I use ArmorAll Leather Care as well.

As an aside if you clean and polish your paint - and you didn’t pay for ceramic - to reduce swirl marks I really like Klasse All-In-One cleaner followed by their High Gloss Sealant Glaze.

If you need a good rubbing compound for nastier swirl marks/paint cleaning I recommend 3M Perfect-It Rubbing compound.

I carry a bunch of microfibre clothes in the bag.

I just got my car, but everyone that sees it can’t stop raving about the blue & white interior. I recently read an article that claimed white interiors are easier to keep clean than black. Not sure I believe that but get what you like and you’ll be fine. Good luck.

Your car is STUNNING 😍

The white certainly doesn’t absorb heat like the darker interiors, a nice benefit when your wearing shorts, roof down on a warm sunny day.
