Almond MB-tex scuffs
Hey guys, I've noticed my almond colored MB-tex seats gets scuffed up pretty easily. Basically all it takes is tossing my black gym bag onto the seat and it will leave a mark behind.
Is there a product to remove the discoloration?
Is there something I can use to protect the seats?
Annoying..

It's the bag, not the seats!!!
If a mild soap and warm water solution doesn't do the trick, try a good brand leather cleaner (I know its not real leather) to remove the scuffs and then treat it with a mild leather conditioner AFTER it dries. It should do the job!
Then throw the bag in the rear cargo area instead from now on. The bag must not be made of a good quality material.

It's one of those under armor gym bags with the rubber grip type feet on the bottom. That's probably what's doing it. I haven't tried anything to clean the seats because I didn't want to make the problem worse.
Maybe I need to step up to a big-boy gym bag? Btw, I've been using the trunk since I noticed the marks. I'll try soap and then leather cleaner if that doesn't work.

Well, the light black scuffs from my gym back were easily removed with soap and water. Unfortunately, I blue myself. (Arrested Development reference for anybody out there..)
The almond MB-Tex is turning blue from my jeans. The car only has about 500 miles on it and my regular jeans are fairly old and faded.
Anybody have experience removing the blue from MB-tex seats? Anything I can do to prevent it in the first place? (I am not going to drive naked..)

Did you try the soap and water on it? Or diluted woolite and then water on it? I have the same issue but it's been too cold to try and clean it. I usually use very dilute woolite and then wipe with water on my other car with leather. I assumed the MB-tex would be similarly cleaned up.
