The car is new and after only a few days driving I notice that the red bolster started to stain with some light blue from my jeans. Jeans were washed many times previously.

I removed the light blue stains with some cream leather cleaner and a micro fiber cloth, it came clean.

I guess I'll have to watch it carefully and clean the seat very regularly to keep from getting any permanent staining.

That's interesting... I wonder what brand of jeans? I haven't had any issues at all with mine since mid December and I haven't been particularly careful with them at all.

I was going to go with black and white interior, and my friend who is the sales manager advised strongly against it just because of the jean staining issue. He said I was going to have to be forever having to restrain them, and would look like poop by time of resale.

A good cream leather cleaner gets out the light stain, but it's not good to constantly clean the leather. A leather protector is worse as it has silicone and will probably lead to the leather cracking over time.

Jeans are not the ideal for this car due to the rubbing against the left bolster on entry and exit.

Fleece jerseys do the same thing in my old Toyota, which had a beige cloth interior, the blue from my corp logo'd fleece sweaters would stain the center console/arm rest and the back of my seats..

I don't think it is always a problem... I'm on my third car with a red interior and haven't had any problems. Maybe I just got lucky and buy jeans that don't leave marks

Temporarily stained mine as well. Just use leather cleaner. And It's not your leathers fault, its your jeans staining. Usually if its new. You should be alright after a bunch of washes. It does not matter what brand. But just inspect and clean... comes off easy.
