Jeans staining beige leather..anyone?

I've been having a problem with my beige leather interior....all my jeans after a while stain the leather.

The dye from the jeans transfers to the seat especially in the left area of the seat which rubs with my pants every time I get in and out.

Anyone else have this problem or do I just have crappy quality jeans?

I had a seat pad for a while but it looks terrible and I don't like having cushions or any type of after market pad on top of my seat.

I thought maybe a Scotchgard type spray may help.

I have the same problem with my beige interior I first used armor all wipes but it took a little of the beige color out and the jeans stains all well. But now I use black magic interior spray it removes the jeans stain only not the seat color so I'm happy with it.

Simple answer: Don't wear jeans in the car.

No problems for me at all. Just cleaned the seats after owning my 2011 X5 for 10 months and they were still pretty clean.

I use Lexol cleaner and conditioner.

From the replies I guess I'm not the only one!

I figured a good leather cleaner would do the trick but my main concern was the dye from the jeans would possibly transfer onto the leather permanently and wouldn't come off.

I'll purchase a good leather cleaner and give my seat a good clean tomorrow.

I guess the only option is to simply let the seat get stained and clean it often.....and no....not wearing jeans isn't an option since that's all I wear....7 days a week...365 days a year....or I could drive with my pants down but that's probably not a good idea! lol...

Same here, got blue jeans stains on exactly the same place as yours. And they were not even cheap jeans or something, but rain had it coming for me I guess.

Where I am at, I can't find Black Magic and Zaino, but I could find Meguiars Rich Leather Cleaner, what say you all about this product?

Read any 7, 5, 3, X3, Z4 board or any Mercedes or Range Rover board....and it happens to everyone. My Mom's 1994 E320 had super light, cream beige leather. She had the car for like 12 years...the leather looked brand new. Our neighbors 1989 560SL still has perfect leather. Car compaines nowadays must be using very cheap hides, and/or bad leather dyes.

I have to wipe my Oyster leather down EVERY week to keep the blue jeans stains away. It takes literally 30 seconds. So easy. I use Mother's leather cleaner & conditioner or Lexol. Both work fine. I love the looks of my oyster & black interior...so a little 30 seconds of leather maint once a week is no big deal to me.

A friend of mine has an oyster interior...looks like crap. Why do people insist the light colors are easy to keep clean and look great??
