I didn't see a recent post on tips for caring for Ivory or Silverstone interiors so thought I would start one here.

I have full ivory, which looks amazing with my TBII exterior but it is a LOT of leather and a LOT of white! I also have two children, including a 4-year old in a car seat. I mention that because I should be a good test subject for how full ivory can hold up against less-than ideal circumstances. This is a NO food car for adults or kids and my 4-year old already knows to take his shoes off as soon as he gets in. Still, kids are dirty and I have already cleaned an uncounted number of smudges and stains from the leather. My black/dark jeans definitely darken the seats as well.

Good news is that everything comes off, bad news is that every little mark shows up pretty clearly. I'm not OCD and this is my daily driver but I want to care for it and keep it for many years.

So far I am using Zaino Z-9 and Z-10 + Adam's Cockpit Brush and some small car towels to clean and care for the leather. I'm wiping down the plastics with very neutral and chemical free baby wipes. That seems to be working so far but the fumes from the Zaino are pretty smelly, even outside with windows down.

I took delivery on 5/1 so it's too soon to tell how things will look in the long run. I will post 6 and 12 month updates. Would love to hear more from others who have owned light colored interiors for longer, RE: care-tips.

Here are pics taken a few days ago as a starting reference point.
