I don't know what your previous car was, but perhaps the bolsters on the F-SPORT seats cause you to have more or different contact with the Nuluxe material than you had with the leather seats in your previous car.

It has to be the Nuluxe, My 3IS has light grey LEATHER and not the Nuluxe and I have no issues whatsoever!

Thanks for the input guys. I'm betting it's the Nuluxe (which is really irritating). My car is only a couple months old so I was wearing the same jeans in my last car (which had real leather and no issues). I'm surprised there are not more people noticing this...those that have the Nuluxe.

I have light gray nuluxe. A few months after I got my car I noticed dye transfer mainly on the lower portion of the seat back, I tried to clean it off but I think it had been too long at that point. I doubt anybody would even notice this so it doesn't concern me. But, since that time I just make it a point to periodically clean the seat. I haven't had a problem since.

I have black NuLuxe, so the dye transfer isn't an issue for me, but the light gray leather in my RX picks up the blue jean dye very quickly. I have to clean it off at least once a month.

Almost 1 month into having my car with nuluxe rioja red. I wear jeans almost everyday. So far, no problem with color rubbing off. I used to use Lexol for cleaning and conditioning the leather seats in my Infiniti. Good products! Also, I suggest washing the jeans before wearing them for the first time, especially dark denims.
