Macchiato Nappa Wear

For anyone that has Macchiato Nappa? How is it holding up, how many miles do you have? Any color transfer issues?

Color transfer issues come from the type of dyed-cotton you wear - deep Indigo Blues tend to transfer a bit just looking at the interior (in a manner of speaking).

Prompt cleaning helps - like a bottle of Lexol pH neutral spray leather cleaner - if you are planning a new purchase MB/Dupont has a decent protection package - some dealers offer equivalent in "permaPlate" that also warranties for cleaning up to full seat leather replacement.

Keep the beat !

I have the Macchiato on my E63s and yes there is color transfer--mostly from blue jeans but it cleans up easily. I have ceramic coated my seats and interior upholstery and this seams to be protecting them quite well. For about $70 you can buy a kit and do it yourself--quite easy to apply.

Have not really noticed it with mine in my Cabriolet and I wear Blue Jeans a lot. Maybe that stuff they put on with the Permaplate really does work as I did buy that package mainly for this reason. The guy told me at the dealer whenever you notice this sort of thing happening just bring it back to the dealer and they would hit it up with the treatment.

Is there dye transfer other than from jeans? I could just stop wearing jeans. AMGliturbo, what ceramic kit did you use? Any precautions for perforated seats?

I have porcelain colored Nappa on a 2014 E350 and have never had an issue. I have 48,000 miles on the car and they are holding up great.
