[I posted the following in the SC300/400 forum by mistake - Sorry!]

Have been waiting since June, and finally got "the call" on my SC 430. News was good, and OK (versus good and bad). First choice is the white with saddle interior - no report on when one of those might show up. My dealership has a silver/ecru on the way in, and it's mine if I say OK. Two questions for the forum:

1. How well does the ecru handle dirt /etc. ? My '92 SC400 has the beige leather interior, and seemed to hold up pretty well (except where my pants belt rubs the driver's seat!)

2. I have not seen a silver/ecru combination yet. Has anyone seen it - how do the colors work? (Black is not an option - I live in Florida and do not wish to fry my butt during the summer!!!)

Thanks for the input.

Actually, Ecru/Silver was my first and only choice. I have it and it is a great combination. Ecru will show dirt faster than any other color. I use the Zaino leather products and have cleaned it maybe 3 times in the last 8 months and it still looks fine. All of the interiors look classy. The saddle was a little too orange for my taste, but that's just an individual thing.

The best thing about the Ecru is that it comes with the "blonde" looking birdseye maple wood trimmings. That is the first thing everyone comments about whenever they get into the car for the first time.

I love my silver/ecru combo. I personally find the silver to be an amazing color to look at. Like others have said the saddle is too orange. Also, the matching wood of the ecru, birds eye maple, is a very unique color wood to have. It gets constant praise.

Thanks for the input. Actually my dealership called again late yesterday and said they had a silver/ecru model on site. I went out and took a look, and decided I really like the combination. The light leather really makes a nice contrast with the black interior dash and door trim. Also, I always have been a fan of the lighter maple wood. I will be taking delivery on Monday!!

Now - more requests for info:

1. Car cover - until my house remodel job is done (probably another 4-6 months), I have no garage. Any recommendations for a good outdoor cover for the car

2. "Zaino" - Please excuse my ignorance, but I noticed a lot of people refernce it and I have little idea what it really is (other than some type of car finish protector). Is it difficult to apply? And is it worth the hassle, compared to ordinary car wax products.

Thanks!
