How difficult is it to care for the seats? Does Dye from jeans stain them? Really a beautiful interior. Might be too much heartache?

I always drive with jeans and no stains so far on my slate grey/chalk interior. Easy to care for- if you see some dirt, just wipe off with a damp rag.

I would not hesitate to say your fears are unfounded.

All slate grey leather interior. 14,000 miles and 2 1/2 years. Looks just like it did the day I took delivery.

I do not wear jeans, however on rare occasions my wife does. I have not seen any noticeable dye transfer anywhere on either seat. I have the slate gray/chalk interior.

Only 3,5xx miles. I do routinely clean the interior in order to prevent such travesties of showing use. : )

I have had no problem with dye transfer, and the upkeep has been easy thus far. I only have 3k on the clock, however.

All the feedback here and seeing a 991 in-person sealed the deal for me to spec chalk/slate. I'm at 400 miles and just curious to everyone's care routine specific to dye transfer? I do wear blue jeans

I did buy the colorblok shield, but it on the slow boat shipping from the UK.

How reflective is a slate gray dash on the windshield??? Do most slate gray or chalk interiors come with a black dash??

Mine did not, it had slate gray and it was fine. Not reflective at all.

Can report that after ~1 year of ownership, the chalk seats look brand new. No jean dye transfer. Seats are untreated.

I recently picked up a new GTS w/ blk/chalk interior. Good to hear others have not had issues w/ dye transfer. FWIW, I am planning to use Gyeon Q2 Leathershield (SiO2 ceramic coating) on the seats. Supposed to help keep the seats clean resistant to stains/dirt. From what I've been able to find out, it does not alter the color or the softness of the leather.

Thanks for all the feedback on guy transfer I'll keep the group posted on how color block applies. Any special cleaning products you guys are using?

I don’t have a chalk interior, but I had mine ceramic coated by my detailer.
