Default How Durable Are The F-Sport Microfiber Seats???

Hey guys...just wondering from those who have had their F-Sport cars for a while, how is the condition of the microfiber holding up? How do you treat stains, marks or scuffs? Thanks for the advice ahead of time!

I can tell you I have not gotten 1 scuff or issue since i got it a few months ago. I'm not sure how to clean them but I like the way its holding up so far. I had a fully loaded 09 with the luxury package and the micro fiber inserts are far better then the leather. Now if I could just figure out how to clean them

I've had my car for 5 months and they still look new. A+ for cool seats.

Have you tried a lint roller? That's what I'm gonna attempt to use.

Mine are in great shape. I just vacume them out 1-2 times a week. Love the vacume lines, always looks good.

Only big problem I had with my interior is not the microfiber itself but just the white stitching after four months of owning the car and a little over 1000 miles driven. Mine is similar to this forum member's 2011 F-Sport but not as bad yet:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/6421053-post70.html

I went to my dealership and because mine wasn't nearly as bad, they weren't going to re-do the stitching under warranty and called it "normal wear". The dealership suggested I call Lexus Customer Satisfaction, which I did. LCS ended up agreeing with the dealership. They told me they would replace it under warranty only if the stitching actually separated.

Other than that, the interior is fine and the F-Sport seats look great!

yep thats my hwip ... other than that car is perfect but the seats were straight up "hairy" and they did get re-stitched ... so if anyone has a problem and Lexus says no one has complained, lemme know and I will hit you off with a copy of my invoice to be viewed as proof.... Got mine in October and I have 12k on the car now, got one of the first ones around so I have the most mileage I'm assuming

Oh well, it has been fixed so I can't complain. I love my car, after driving my truck for a week, getting back in it is like buying a new car all over again! pure bliss F-Sport FTW

Superbrino, if this happens to mine and they re-stitch the seats, can they do blue stitching? Just curious because I think it would be nice to have the blue

I just use a microfiber cloth and wipe through the sides to get the dirt or whatever is stuck in between. Works good tho makes it look new!

I've had mine since January and no issues with the seats ^_^ Just normal vacuuming and lint rolling for the cat fur that these seats love to attract
