White interior (alpaca)
Are these things as bad to clean as I think they might be? Dealer is coming to bat for me on a great deal on an '10. Has everything I want except the interior color.
I think it looks stunning in the showroom but... well you know.
Am I ever going to think it's clean?

I have sahara beige as well and I love the color combo with dark grey.
It is my daily driver and after 12K, it still looks brand new.
I am careful with what goes on the seats and I clean up like I would on normal seats.
It just shows the dirt more and you just have to clean a bit more often.

Try explaining that to your passengers too--simple for me, always black interior for me, I spend enough time outside making the car look good, I don't want to worry about the inside too.
Jeans on a rainy day=

White is going to be hard to keep clean.
My brother had a 35th anniversary corvette, white on white
and it was a pain to keep clean.
It can be done but be prepared to clean it often.

Ever notice the blue stain on white sneakers? Yeah that's the dye in ur jeans, and it's going to stain the white seats as well.
imho it's really not THAT bad. It will probably annoy you for the first few months after the first stain, but similar to the swirl marks on black cars, you'll learn to live with it. White leather seats are still sexy to look at even with the stain.

The rubbing on the seats, especially our heavily bolstered fronts will show jeans staining and dirty marks.
Not a good idea for a daily driver IMO.
If you're at all ****, forget it, it will drive you nutty.
Use the search on here I can recall reading a few threads about this--not all C63s too.
I guess you could replace all of your jeans with MC Hammer pants, that way you'll slide right into the seats, no rubbing

Thanks for the insight guys. I think I'm going to go for it. I've had lots of black interiors... think it's time for something new and I just won't let any dirty a55es in the car

May I ask - why do people keep referring to it as "white" interior? It is called sahara beige and in reality it looks like a sickly yellow. But it's better than black IMHO which looks boring, depressing and gets really hot in the summer. I think Ash is the best.

Also, the underside of the dash (which borders the console) is the same color unlike the pics above.
When I get it in my hands (I bought it yesterday) I'll post pics and you can see the contrast to the pics above.

I wear jeans all the time.. alot.. so far, no dye has come off onto my seats. It's my daily driver as well.
The biggest issue your going to have is rubbing the seat bolster getting in and out of the car so it wears prematurely...

The Alpaca Grey should be the same as Ash Grey in the USA.
