Interior Color

paulinny · 07-21-2007, 08:35 AM

Any comments regarding keeping Macademia interior clean on the GL? I just ordered a gl550 obsidian black with mac. interior but am wondering if I'd be better off with black considering my 6 & 8 year old kids.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Paul

Don't worry about it if that's your preferred color.
I wouldn't think it would get all that dirty, especially if you keep up with cleaning it regularly, but a fruit punch spill might stain the carpet. Stick with light colored drinks.

We have had two vans one with tan interior that was the worst at hiding the dirt, the grey was better but still noticable. By far if you have kids black is the best. Notice I said hiding the dirt. If you want to keep a carpet cleaning solution in the back along with Armor All etc., vacuum every other day then buy what you want. I'm a low maintenance kind of guy.

We specifically went with Black because of kids ( 4 years and 18 mo). Mac is a beautiful interior color but, in my experience, got dirty very quickly. Even shoe prints show up on carpet and scuff marks also pop up real quick. I have been very happy with Black interior. Just my $0.02.

I wouldn't worry. I have Macadamia and it does get dirty just from normal use, luckily it wipes off with a damp cloth.

Got 3 kids, so I guess black on black is gonna work just fine.... Have had both grey and brown interiors so far with kids and they both get dirty pretty quick
