Ivory white interior

For the ones that have ivory white interior, is it too sensitive and how much do you need to clean it...

Got Graphite Metallic with the Ivory White. Wife wanted it so she is responsible for cleaning it. Just do not wear new Jeans. Lexor will clean it up with no problem.

I got Ivory White seats, you need to clean at least once a month in detail and then maybe keep the Lexol handy for spot cleaning but it's not as bad as some people claim it is unless you wear brand new blue jeans every single day. I wear slacks or dress pants or khakis on a daily basis with only weekends in jeans, I do see the stains they talk about, but they are easy to remove if you don't let them get worse.

It's white, what do you expect.
Would I do it again? I think I liked black better, especially with a toddler in the back. Maybe it's all this bad weather and mud, salt, snow got me discouraged, I think I'll love it in summer.

I have the ivory white seats as well and I also wear raw denim jeans regularly. The leather does stain quite easily but all I need to do is wiping the seats down every other week with some lexol leather wipes and then finish with some leather conditioners. It really isn't that bad.

We have Oyster leather (pretty close to Ivory) in our 550 and the kids don't ride in that car. Even getting in and out with leather jackets will make marks. Same with jeans.

Had my car since May 2014 and done ~8k miles. No issues with the interior.
Like others I use Lexol to clean and maintain appearance on the rare occasions when it does get dirty.

Put on by the detailer when he first did the car in May 2014.

FYI he also put a coat of nano-ceramic sealing on the leather which also helps keep it looking good and helps when I spill coffee around the place fresh from Starbucks!
