Dye transfer issue with white (vegan/faux) leather seats

[dp-aus7 6]

In Australia we only have the two-tone interior trim available - i.e. the white and dark navy blue (some say its grey/gray) seats. Not my preference, but must admit that the two-tone looks great and it has been growing on me. But I have seen discussions on many Tesla owners with the dye transfers (e.g. from blue jeans) issue on their white vegan leather seats. Since the BF1 is relatively new there is probably no reports yet if this issue also afflicts this Prelude two-tone seat.

I have taken the preventative route by preparing all the leather trims with the Gyeon Q2M Leather Cleaner Natural, and then sealing them with the Gyeon Q2 Leather Shield EVO (ceramic coating for automotive leather). These two Gyeon products work without altering the look or feel of your seats. My wife and I do not wear blue jeans, but that is another story. (I am *not* affiliated with Gyeon or any car detailing business.)

Have other forum members considered this issue?

It is a worry, I had a detailer treat mine though I don't know which product they used. Early on one of the dealerships' techs unfortunately did put a big oily hand print on the seat. The detailer tried to get it out, which got rid of maybe 90% of it and then me scrubbing it with an interior spray every week or so eventually faded it to the point I can't find it any more. So seems the concern is valid, they do pick up stains quickly, but you can get it off too... eventually.

I'm using Gyeon Leather Cleaner, and then Leather Coat with the two tone.

No issues at all, I've been using it for years on our Lexus with tan leather and it's worked very well at keeping that leather unmarked from jeans.
