Jeans Staining Your Car Seats? Lexus, Chrysler Fight Stains
You might not think your jeans have the capacity for causing much damage unless you're one of the unlucky souls to have once caught part of their anatomy in the zipper, but they can actually be responsible for undue wear to your car seats.
A light-colored leather interior can look absolutely fantastic and really lifts the ambience of a nice car, but luxury carmaker Lexus reckons that customers tend to shy away from lighter colors as they can begin to look grubby quite quickly.
One of the prime suspects is denim jeans. The evergreen fashion item is colored using indigo dye, and over repeated sliding in and out of light leather seats the dye can wear off, staining the seats.
The automakers are fighting back though. Lexus has developed a stain-resistant leather for its interiors...
The Lexus leather doesn't simply use a coating. Paul Williamsen at the Lexus College research facility explains, "It's actually part of our tanning process for the leather."
