Leather Seat problem

[layne55]

Purchased a 300C a couple weeks ago and noticed that the leather seats which are a light color are turning black when we wear our black levi's and was wondering if this is a problem anyone else is having and if it is possible to put seat covers on the seats? We have the heated seats in our 300C and didn't know if this would cause a problem?

you COULD put covers on the seats if you want to...... but some good leather cleaner will take care of the color transfer. I have the light greystone seats too and I with I had the darker interior..... but oh well.

I've used the ZYMOL leather cleaner (part #Z507) and conditioner (#Z509) on mine and it's awesome! There's cheaper products out there and they may work also, but I'd stay away from one that claims to be a cleaner and conditioner in one product. Anyway the Zymol is about $9 for each part. I got it at NAPA since I work there but I'm sure whatever auto parts store you have close has it.
