Default Advice from satin cashmere metallic owner

I am getting this color but undecided on the interior color- what color did you get? does parchment gets the blue jeans stain? does saddle tan and black look good with exterior color? thanks

You can avoid the blue jeans stain issue by applying a leather protectant like Leather Masters Leather Protection Cream every few months. I had that color with the parchment leather for 10 years with no bj stains and I wear jeans a lot. I like the parchment color leather best with that paint color.

I don't know about the jeans stain, but I like the light tan interior. However, the satin cashmere is a very boring color. I had a 2009 RX350 with the Brandywine Mica exterior color. People were always complimenting me on the color, but nobody says nothing about this. Wish I had stayed with that color or something close

That color does have one strong advantage going for it. It is nearly immune to showing swirls. My spouse loved the color. I learned something a long, long time ago. "Happy Wife Happy Life".

Love the Cashmere, love my parchment; just clean the seats and condition about every 6 months; does show a little blue jean stain so you know when it is there, but a great combo of colors and a unique outside color;; all I see are whites and blacks where I live;seldom see Cashmere so feel unique!!

If there was a Cashmere on the lot, we would have bought it as it is great at hiding dirt. Our previous car was similar in color and we washed it maybe 4 times a year.

This Nebula Gray Pearl is pretty but a pita. We just washed it last Sunday and today (Thursday) it has pollen all over it already.

We have light gray seats and have been using the LM Protection Cream.

And if given a choice, I would have chosen the saddle tan because it 1 - has a richness to it imo, 2 - it matches the leather Coach purse I'm currently carrying.
