Default ECRU Interior is awful

I have a 2004 sc430 with the indigo blue. Great car and i love it as you might of read in a previous post of mine i was looking for a cleaner to bring the brightness back to the color, not only does it only last a little while, it wears very poorly, mind you its a daily driver but i am so easy on it as i love the car to pieces. Anyone have the same complaint about black or the dark tan color? I wish i would of waited now for an alternative color rather then the ecru and get the dissapointment of always frowning when looking in to the rear seats.

I noticed a member changed from ecru to black and it looked great... did he do it for the same reason i am complaining about?

Input fellas.,.,
Thanks

Thumbs up

I have had ECRU for 6 years and I think its the best color of the lot.

I use ZAINO leather cleaner and conditioner each month and if you got in my SC with 40,000 miles you would not tell it was 6 years old.

Try the Zaino.

I waited to get the ecru color interior. I think it looks the best. Admittedly, it is more difficult to keep clean, but it is still the most beautiful color interior to my eye.

I echo that I've had my SC430 with the Ecru leather since October 2002, still looks great, just need frequent cleaning/conditioning.

FALCON1, how do you like the Zaino Leather cleaner wipes compared to the Meguiars leather cleaner Wipes?

I've used the Meguiars Wipes all the time, but I've never used the Zaino. is there a big difference. I hate the white interior, except when its clean

In my area (WDC) the Ecru brings a $5K penalty for the exact same car, exact same miles. I was amazed.

I've had the saddle interior since new in late '01, and it holds up very well, considering I don't keep it as clean as I should ... the only wear I have is a TINY spot where my elbow rests on the center console lid.

I specifically searched for saddle. I've had light coloured leather before, and get tired of the constant cleaning. When I was looking, I'd estimate that ecru and black were probably in about 90% of the SC population. Saddle was hard to come by.
