Gray/Frost interior question
I'm looking at getting a car with this interior and im wondering just how well it holds up over time to staining and what not. I won't be driving the car everyday, but im able to decide between this car and another with the persimmon interior and im trying to weigh my decision before i pass the point of no return.

Mine looks new after 12 month of driving. I don't allow any food or dirty clothes in the car.
I was iffy about the colour at first (had no choice, all PW came with it), but I have grown to like it a lot.

I think they will both stain the same. If you clean them correctly though, for most pictures I have seen its more faded than stained.
I use Tuff stuff and a towel and pat or warm water and pat as suggested by the manufacturer. Its really a durable synthetic material.

Frost
I love mine and love it even more the odd time I can actually see it. I've covered mine with grey towels since day one, that's how worried I am about getting it dirty. The only place I see any issues is on the seat bolsters on the outboard sides. I'm real careful when I get in and out to not drag my azz across it. My neighbour has an early 370 and the bolsters are dirty and show signs of creasing. I'd be interested in seeing how well they would come back with a little TLC.
It's a real rare occasion that anyone rides shotgun in mine so I don't have to worry too much about that side. I've never cleaned the 'alcantara' inserts and use a leather cleaner and conditioner on the bolsters. They look like they did Day One. When I clean them I mask off the inserts from the bolsters with green tape to avoid getting anything where I don't want it. I'd also imagine the persimmon wouldn't be any much different so I wouldn't fear getting Frost. They are both real nice. It really comes down to which one you prefer I figure, but there is way less persimmon out there if that makes any difference to you. 104 Last edited by Zipper 104; 11-25-2015 at 04:50 AM.

I love my frost interior. I clean it once every week just to touch it up lightly so it never gets dirty. I use lexol only on the leather part, cleaner and conditioner. The side panels and the middle of the seat I use a spray bottle with water and detergent mixed. You'll love the interior, personally I'm glad mine came with this color.
