those with flaxen or cabernet interior, how's it doing?
i've been religiously keeping my leather/nuluxe sufaces clean with meguiars quick interior detailer(weekly), and deep cleaning and protecting with leather masters every 2 months and happy to say at 7k miles, my flaxen seats have no dye transfer at all, very clean, very little creasing, steering wheel is clean, matte looking, and shifter, mouse, etc are all very clean and do not have worn out/shiny look.
i know it's a little OCD, but i hate when interior develop shine on the materials you touch and seats.
i'll post some pics in daylight.

I have flaxen and the driver seat is dirty now. I've neglected to detail the interior for a good 2 months now (I know, bad owner). Everything else is as good as new. School just went on break so hopefully I can get some time in for some interior tlc this week. From past experiences though, this leather holds up great, so I'm not really worried about any permanent markings.

No issues with my cab. I only "treated" my seats last fall, about halfway through ownership (have had the car for about a year now). Normally it's just me in the car, and my baby has about 16,000km (just under 10,000 miles). Have had car seats in there and move them between my cars. No permanent damage from the car seats, although the leather is a bit creased where my toddler's seat goes. Nothing terrible.

11,000 miles and still look like new. I use Meguiar's leather treatment. I must say I'm very impressed with the quality of leather on mine. Keeping the flaxen clean is easy compared to the black exterior.

After one year and 5000 miles, without any detailing, my flaxen interior looks just like the day I bought the car.

Flaxen with about 8K here. I noticed some wear and a little shine around 3-4K if I remember correctly. As d suggested, I grabbed a Lexol bottle and rubbed the areas. It looked like new again. Don't know how much longer but I still have the new car smell

Flaxen with 7,500 here, looks great. I stay on top of dye transfer and wear on the drivers seat, it does need cleaning every couple of weeks, but after cleaning it comes back and looks like new...

9K miles and they still look new. Had to wipe seat bolsters a few times due to dye transfer from jeans but that was no problem. I use Meguiars once in a while to clean entire interior.
