Tesla Vegan Leather White Seats - Blue Jeans Transfer FIXED!

[@tim-6493]

I use a magic sponge with some cheap soapy water to clean those seats all the dirty stuff come’s off almost instantly, after that i use conditioner to protect them

[@Malikar001]

Careful with the magic sponge. If it’s like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Then it is a very fine, but effective, abrasive and will damage your seat with repeated use.

[@kennethjamora]

Nice work but why did the detailer need to plagiarize the Electronic Arts logo?

[@aboutWilfredo]

Kenneth Jamora yep. Agreed.

More importantly, who cares?

[@AladeenofWadiya1]

John Chybowski he could potentially be sued

[@richardprice5978]

@@AladeenofWadiya1 could be argued that yes there similar but different enough not to be confused with each others plus there in different business so there not concerned with competiting against each others profits, and yes both probably should have done more effort into a unique design as it's fairly bland and easy by actually looking like someone else's trade marketing. suing takes time/usd so maybe not worth it in this one case but if a video game maker used something like the EA logo probably worthwhile to say get off my toes/grass please, just best not to enact the anti-trust laws as EA is so big vs little guys/start-up's

[@czechmate1124]

"Vegan leather " great marketing trick for vinyl.

[@marc_benton]

Just want to add... when I asked my detailer about getting the blue jean transfer out, he said “yes, I think we can get it out” but it was far from a sure thing. In this video, I tried the best I could to document the process but as condensed as I could (for time). He worked on it for about an hour (just the two front seats) so it takes time, the right chemicals (the isopropyl alcohol is key!) and tools (nylon brush). But it works!

just to be a smart A can't Tesla/elon use some space coating to fix the white interior problem? and keep comfort up? as the pre-90's i believe that was sticky but ok 👌 looks or meh looks but super comfy and Tesla's at this point to me it's almost a tradition/trademark to use white interior's and the outside is dark candy red ( Ferrari is simi glossy bright red red bordering pink or yellow no candy's just to show the difference between traditions of corporate paint-codes ) or blue but that's my 2C

[@jeffreyluna-sparks5785]

This video is hysterical. I use a sponge and Dawn on my white seats in my Tesla 3 and it looks like new. VERY EASY - try it. You don’t need a detailer and all these chemicals

[@marc_benton]

Jeffrey Luna-Sparks how many miles does your Model 3 have and do you wear blue jeans often?

[@jeffreyluna-sparks5785]

Not sure why any of that matters. I wear jeans a lot and there we’re definitely blue jean dyes on my white seats. Not now. The Dawn really worked - they look brand new. My Tesla is 9 months old with 5,315 miles

[@marc_benton]

Jeffrey Luna-Sparks trust me, it matters. If you wear blue jeans often and are only cleaning them with dawn then you WILL have blue jean transfer once you hit about 20k mikes (maybe even sooner) and it is will be VERY hard to get out. Think what you want but I know from experience and from many others that have experienced it. The only way to prevent it is to get them ceramic coated and wipe them down weekly.

[@TwinbeeUK]

@@marc_benton How long does the ceramic coating for the seats last? And can you wipe them down much often less than weekly since the ceramic will prevent dirt from penetrating further.

[@behnam2778]

If it's deep enough then u need to do this process

[@gust9464]

Great job. Unfortunately, with the new 2024 perforated seats this method won’t work. 😩

[@kingofl337]

Marc, if you value Eric's work you may want to or blur his logos from the video. There is another company that uses the same logo and Eric might get in trouble using it as I'm sure it's trade marked. I would suggest that Eric use a graphics service to modify his logo to differentiate his logo from the other entity. I have a white interior M3 and will definitely try this out if I stain it.

[@eaautodetailing5303]

Its temporary :) but thank you! Something else is in the works just goes good with my initials, we made slight changes to the logo but if something does happen we are ready lol

[@helipilotpat]

Thanks Marc and Eric! Great Video. I hope to get my white seat Model 3 in summer so I will be prepared.

[@jeffreyrye7691]

I went to a high end furniture shop to buy a very nice sofa. I was wearing blue jeans . I picked out a very nice leather sofa light in color. The sales man told me that if I sat on that color sofa a lot with blue jeans that it would transfer to the leather. Blue jeans transfer to all leather you just don't see it.

[@richardprice5978]

1/2 way right as the leather if not coated all the way aka making it vinyl/painted it will do as your saying plus there a chance that the leather dies move so that white t-shirt 👕👚 will get a stains on it and or anything else that touches the sainted shirt

If you take it to a dry cleaners... ask them if they can wipe off your seats with "ritego" it's a chemical that gets rid of color transfers from white fabrics caused by blue jeans for example.

[@kennethjones8683]

Another great video Marc. (LOL on the hat! - you know that's going to be your "trademarc" now...) I also had blue jean stains on my P3D+ white on white. I keep a pack of baby wipes in the rear in between and behind the front seats. This is all I needed for removing the blue jean stains I had on mine so far. Normally I use Griots Garage products for exterior and interior. I'll have to check these out also. I'm curious what Eric thinks about UV protectants like 303 UV Protectant Spray for Vinyl (especially being in California with strong sun and heat).

[@marc_benton]

Yep, as long as you stay on top of it with baby wipes, there shouldn't be much of an issue for long term staining on the seats. But if you go maybe even a month without wiping them down, there will no doubt be blue jean transfer on the seat. I had my P3D seats ceramic coated and I went about 3 weeks before wiping them (this was only a few weeks ago) and it wiped right off...but I believe it was because the coating was protecting the seats from the stain settling in. Thanks for the comments, I do love my "Best Coast" hat! :)

I wonder what the impact on the seat is with this intense cleaning, especially when you do it often.

Mischa P if you wipe them off weekly or bi-weekly with baby wipes, you shouldn’t have to do this kind of deep cleaning. It’s when you go a few months without wiping them down that this will become an issue.

Jeff I don’t know, you sound like the expert, you tell me.

[@allenrescue]

Synthetic yes, cheap not even close. Although I cant find it now; the manufacturer of this material pointed out that it out performs leather in every category the industry has to measure. Oh and it is absurdly softer than leather. Especially the Ultra White.

[@DJ-nn6vg]

Andrew Allen You have to assume that synthetic/poly leather is cheaper than real leather. If you do a little research you will find that it is lighter, sun resistant and easier to clean than real leather. You will also find that because it is a plastic sprayed on fabric product that it is prone to cracking after long-term use.

Just started looking at Tesla cars. I'm disappointed they only come in black or white seats. White seats? What was Elon Musk thinking anyway?!?!. Not a big black seat fan either, they get hot and make the cabin look dark. I've had cars with leather tan or grey seats. Would love a Tesla with leather grey seats. :)

[@allenrescue]

The black seats do not get hot like a black leather would. Here in Bakersfield, CA we have months of 110F+. When you initially sit you can feel the heat but it quickly dissipates. Leather retains the heat for a long time. In addition the the cabin overheat protection keeps the interior at 105F. Further more you can pre-condition the car from your phone and its not an issue at all!

I would be extremely cautious about using any type of degreaser on these seats. The manufacture, as well as most detailers and owners use warm water and a microfiber cloth.
