Sea Salt Interior - Suede

[tjc78]

Hi Everyone,
First post here, looks like there is a ton of information to read through.

I do have a question that I did a search on and nothing came up. My 25 Laramie has the light "Sea Salt" interior. There are patches of suede that are taking on the blue color from my jeans. I know how to deal with it on the leather from other vehicles that I've owned, but suede is new to me.

If anyone has experience with safely removing it, please chime in. I've Googled a bunch and it appears that there are suede erasers that many claim work.

Thanks

from AI:

Remove jean ink (dye transfer) from suede seats by gently blotting with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on a clean white cloth or using a suede eraser to lift the dye without damaging the nap. For stubborn stains, use a 1:1 mix of water and white vinegar or specialized suede cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing to avoid spreading the ink.

There's also videos on youtube on how to remove jean ink from suede seats.

maybe seat covers would be a good investment?

Thank you that more or less mirrors what I read. I figured I'd take a stab that someone here has had the same problem. I know the light interior is pretty rare.

The truck is leased so I'll probably just let it ride. Hopefully something works fairly easy because I don't like looking at it!

sometimes, not sure about your lease, but they can add to your cost when your lease is up. They allow for normal wear, but, i'm not sure if seat stains are acceptable.
