I like the look of Luxor Beige, but I would like some input on how hard this color interior is to take care of.
Does the leather seem to get easily stained from blue jeans?

 

I have 8K+ on mine and no stains from jeans. I have not had too much trouble keeping it clean. I am super **** about detailing too. Some good leather cleaner when needed and I keep it conditioned and it seems good to go.

Hope this helps.

 

I find that denim does transfer (I wear raw denim, so it's probably worse than regular/washed/sanforized/whatever jeans).

I like light interiors. They get dirty. I clean them. I think it depends on your expectations. I don't have clear film and kinda like the... how do I say... wabi-sabi a car develops over time. If you like Luxor and can handle the odd scuff or mark it makes a great interior.

 

Use good products (cleaner, conditioner, and a Swissvax brush) and have a good routine & technique, and the lighter leather colors are no problem.

 

I have luxur beige in the 911 and in the Cayenne... and for some odd reason the 911 seats are totally fine, while the seats in the Cayenne have some blue spots from my jeans... I guess since the Cayenne is my DD. But I use the Swissvax leather cleaning products and it works pretty well, but I think I'll order black next time.

 

Both have ventilated/cooled seats?

 

I have had Cashmire leather in a 993 that I had. It held up well. I have also had several BMWs with sand leather interior. I use high quality leather care products and I have been able to keep these interiors like new.
I wanted some input from owners that have the Luxor Beige for their experience.
All of your statements are very helpful.

 

I had Sand Beige interior in my prior Cayman S. First thing I did was asked for black floormats instead of matching beige, that went a long way towards targeting a potential problem area. The only other issue for me was the beige steering wheel. You've got to really keep that cleaned regularly, as you'd be surprised the kinds of dirt/grease your hands transfer. If there had been a way to get a black rimmed wheel, I would have done it. I did not have any problems with staining on the seats, either from jeans or anything else.

 

Nope, I think that's it... the 911 has them. Although the jeans scuff marks are only the side bolster.

 

I think having cooled/ventilated seats keeps the perspiration reduced and hence less color transfer.

 

I have Luxor Beige with ventilated seat and I do have dye transfer (most noticeable on the side bolster). It doesn't bother me and I do keep my car very clean. To keep it clean I do go through a fair amount of carpet cleaner. I just bought the Porsche weather mats and will try them next winter.

I would definitely get the Luxor Beige again. I love the lighter interior.

 

I love my Luxor Beige interior. I have had no problems of it looking dirty.
I would buy this beautiful color again!

I don't have a problem with the seats but the sides of the door frequently come in contact with my shoe getting out and that does show marks. Had the same issue with my light colored BMW seats and doors. Still, I wouldn't change the color, I love the Luxor Beige.

 

True, and I have a pretty sweaty *** to begin with. I think the medical term is 'swamp ***'. I'm just gonna wear 'depends' from now on....

 

TMI, bro!
