Great looking ride, enjoy in good health! The MF steering wheel actually looks good to me even if a bit busy and great choice on the 7MT

Didn't you know you're not supposed to wear white after labor day?

On the light leather my Audi RS5, 6 and 7 over the years all had silver leather and while there was some transfer it comes right off. Same with my beige in my C2S and wifes new Q7. Leathermaster a couple of times a year if that. 33K on my Porsche and dealer just got the small amount of buildup off.

Dark, premium jeans do it when new since they don't wash them out as much as part of the manufacturing process, but a few washes and no problem. It also transfers more on how you sit down...if you are wearing new jeans try not to slide down the bolster getting in or turning on the seat getting out. Ladies jeans are worse. I certainly would not sacrifice the look for fear of some blue transfer.

I wanted to show your pictures today to Hilary, but she started seizing again, so I flipped them, and now she's fine:

oh dear, hopefully the handicap sign isn't necessary for her. (just kidding, I hope everyone lives healthy and happily)

Thanks buddy!
It seems only iPhone pictures taking vertically can be shown normally. I couldn't even upload photos from the phone app.

Thank you! The only problem I have is where they decided to put the steering wheel warmer button, I have accidentally turned it on a couple times already.

Haha I always break that rule myself, I love the two-tone interior by the way.

I love the new center console, looks much better than the 991.1! It's not clear that the display is larger, but it looks so much nicer without the bezel. I look forward to the 992 (or whatever they call it) and a most/all glass dashboard, getting rid of all of the switches, *****, CD slot, etc. It's the geek in me I guess, but I am "over" the physical controls and want something that is clean, and hopefully very customizable. I haven't seen the new Panamera in the metal yet, but it looks like Porsche is moving in that direction.

I have learned my lesson with white leather seat.... do NOT turn on heated seat while wearing jean unless you want permanent stain.

done it...never again

Nice to know with some effort it can be taken care of, I really want the graphite/chalk interior.

I'm going to try dealing with it, I've had too many black interiors already. Hope I don't regret it!

Wow...looks nice...what color interior is that? I had a similar problem with my Oxford Green/Sand Beige '09 997.2 C2 God hated the transfer of almost anything worn in the car to the seats to the point I looked desperately to swap it out for the two tone interior black/beige if possible then I ended up trading it in for a Meteor Gray/Black '09 C4S! Beware of that interior man.
