Default White leather interior - how dirty does it get?

I’m looking at used LS500 models and was wondering how dirty do the white leather interiors get with normal usage? I’ll take care of it like a car guy would, but I’m not going to be obsessive about it. Related question is, how easy is it to clean the leather? Thanks

Those white interiors are kind of rare and this is not a high volume sight.
Might want to visit a Tesla site and see if others have experience? Seems there are a lot of those lighter color choices in that brand.
Naturally if you wear dark blue jeans on a regular basis you might get some bleading of dye?
Kids? Other passengers?

ITs a brave thing to attempt to get white. They are very nice BTW! I roll with black and can't help you.
Good luck with your quest!

The Tesla seats are different to the LS seats, your jeans will transfer its inevitable, I know a friend that has the seats on Tesla and they truly don't show transfer color guessing since its not real leather. Pretty sure the LS is using real leather so overtime it will transfer just depends how you take care of it, I think you should be fine as long as you maintain it. Maybe check BMW forum as they have white interior leather.
