Beige Leather Car Seats - Are They Hard to Maintain?

pg13 on 19/04/2022 - 13:40

Hi guys, I am in market for a car at the moment, and I have never had a beige/sand leather interior car before, but the looks are tickling my fancy a bit.

But I am a bit worried that they might be a bit hard to maintain and also get dirty much more easily than the traditional black leather.

Can someone with any experience with the beige colour interiors let us know if you recommend them or not?

Thank you for your input in advance.

    To keep clean, no - leather is awesome for standing up to stains and general scuffs as long as you regularly clean/maintain it.
    But you will get general aging/discolouration over time which is natural.

    If you don't clean it regularly, you might also get black dirt or lines trapped in the folds/creases in the leather.

    What car? Is it leather?

    Fake leather (plastic) is very easy to clean and maintain.

    Light coloured seats don't get any dirtier than dark coloured seats.
    It is just that any dirt etc., is more visible.

    if it's a town car and you are a clean person who cleans the car occasionally, it will be fine.

    if it''s an offroad car with beige / white like the new landcruiser, just don't. it will get dirty and you won't get all the stains out of the carpet.

    I once sat in a car with beige leather seat and it had noticeable blue stain from jeans.

    Not sure if those are easy to clean but certainly not an issue on black leather.

      Was also going to say this. Some dark clothing that isn’t properly colourfast will leave a stain that can be removed. You won’t find out someone (maybe you) sits on it with said jeans (or similar) and then it’s game over.

    i ve had a a car with full beige leather interior for 6 years, and in that time we have had 2 kids…

    • seats are fine… wipe them down everytime i wash the car with conditioner wipes supercheap
    • as leather or letherette ages you'll get crease and wrinkles in the leather, and when you don't clean your seat often this is where the wear and tear will start to appear more prominent. the key is to condition often.

    • change the way you get in and out of the car

    • i now have a car with grey (sand coloured interior), the car looks alot better than standard black..

    Love beige/cream leather in car seats. Go for it imo.

    Yes they get dirty, but nothing that a quick wipe will solve. Luckily all you need is some leather cleaner and conditioner all in one.
    I just rub some beeswax into mine every 6-12 months and they do alright. If you leave it for multiple years just need a brush with bristles and the dirt comes straight out.
