About to purchase an MY11 RRS AB with black leather /Ivory inserts. Heard the warnings about ivory but still like the look of it. Any recommends on what protection to apply to the leather to avoid dye transfers?

Honest opinion.....LR seat covers. I am very OCD about my car and keeping my Almond interior clean, even when it was only me in it most of the time was a real challenge. Light seats are very easily marked by dye. |

Beancounter is spot on, just little and often will do it.

Having taken a quick look at the 'A-Glaze' website, I would say that it is more akin to something like Superguard and more than likely 'dealer' supplied.

Never understood why anyone would put seat covers on a luxury car. Surely you're only keeping it clean for the next owner while you get to slip slide about on some nylon crappy covers? |

Buy some leather cleaner or give it to a detailer once a month, Seat covers are for mechanics and farmers |

I had them because I would get salty and grubby after a day on the boat and swimming etc. salt is a quick way to ruin ivory seat covers, other than that, I agree, they are not nice. I have never found a leather cleaner which gets rid of jeans stains completely. I will never buy another car with light coloured upholstery if I can avoid it. |
