Anyone have issues with Taupe interior?
I am planning to get the vehicle with Taupe interior.
For any owners here with the Taupe interior, how is the leather holding up in terms of resistance to marking and stains?
Your feedback is deeply appreciated.

same as any color. if you take care of it you will have no problems. if you get in with grease on your pants it will show more than black.
I love my Taupe! love the way it contrasts with black carpet and dash.
~side note: most of the areas that are prone to scuff and stain are black anyway. so you should have no issues~

I like mine as well... have had similar colors (Infinitis and Nissans for the last 7 cars) and if you are OCD you will be fine. I like the clorox popup wipes and always have some in the trunk for quick touch ups... works great on headliner / visors / pillars also (fabric areas)

what do you guys use to clean your taupe interiors?
do you put anything on the seat to protect it like a t-shirt, towel or anything when you sit on the seat?

I have a camel interior (close enough) and I always clean my seats once a month using Griots Garage interior cleaner or the wipes. They are very safe for leather and clean very well. Then, I use either 303 or Griots leather wipes. Both make the leather smell great and there is zero shine!

I have the taupe and I love it but I'm going to change my arm rest to black cuz thats the only thing that seems to get dirty easy, it should match pretty good to with all the other black. When I do it I will try to post pics.

yea I agree.
If it looks good I might just do it.
Would probably have to do the rear one as well.

No real problems but I find mine gets a little blue from my jeans. I clean and condition it every 2 months or so with Lexol and the blue comes off with no problems but it does pick it up. Other than that...I love it.

I have had my Taupe interior for about 4 months now and no issues. Really like the color and contrast with the rest of the interior. I have cleaned them once with Lexol and that removed the small amount of markings from my blue jeans.

After a year I noticed that the driver's seat was changing color slightly, darkening versus the other seats. My previous car with a similar color never did this in 4 yrs. The one prior to that took about 8 years to darken.
The seats seem to be a bit more prone to scuffing and such than other cars that I've owned.
