Have you driven a Cayenne with a Luxor Beige interior? You wouldn't SYDH so much.

Having said that, it's something that should have been discovered on the test drive.

Thanks, all. For anyone with interior wraps, how does the surface hold up? (I realize life outside the car is tougher, but I sit closer to some of the trim, and some areas are prone to contact with hands, arms, sleeves, etc.)

Richard, I think you are driving too hard--looks like evidence of sweaty palms.

Pic is from delivery in April 2016 where it snowed 3" wet heavy snow during the night after car unloaded from transport and left outside.
We took the car in doors in the morning and all the snow melted while we were removing the coverings.
No harm to interior.-Richard

Got the Class Action package a couple of days ago for my Cayenne regarding windshield reflection (Luxor Beige interior), and the cure is polarized sunglasses (I figured that out quick). Settlement includes up to $175 for polarized sunglasses. When I drove the Cayenne home from the dealer, I couldn't see anything. Polarized sunglasses solved the problem. The Class Action required a receipt, and it was easy to get as I purchased the glasses from Amazon a day after I got the vehicle (2013 model).

Try polarized sunglasses.

yes, for 29 months. Our first one. Glare didn't bother me, showing dirt and dye transfer from jeans did bother me, so we went black on the 2nd.

Every dealer doesn't has every permutation and combination of colors that one is considering. No, I did not test drive a Luxor Beige Cayenne because none were available to test drive. Most of us custom order, and hope for the best. We learn from our mistakes, and reading up here.

The Class Action surprised me, but then again I'm on my third Cayenne, and the first generation was plagued with expensive problems, so I don't feel guilty about being reimbursed for a pair of sunglasses.

After I put PPF on my front end, I decided to also put some on the aluminum trim interior and the passenger side door armrest because I take my little dog for rides and he likes to scratch at things. Even though I was never bothered by any glare, I noticed the Al trim now has a less reflective appearance, so this might work for you.
