Don’t have any pics, but I went with the similar combo on my G01 X3 (Phytonic Blue with Oyster Dakota). Even with using leather cleaner every few weeks, the seats are noticeably darker after 18k miles. I also only wear light colored blue jeans once a week, the rest of the time it’s khaki shorts or dress pants, so clothing shouldn’t be affecting it that much.

Thanks... Im was hoping the Ivory White remains true to its colour. I did read somewhere about using Dr Leather Dye blocker and decent cleaners / wipes to avoid chemicals that could discolour the leather.

Gorgeous. I love the blue stitching too.

Shame about those vandals and what they did to your number plates.

Nice car. I have the same 👌 same paint and same interior, Even stitching is same. It's awesome!

I have my paint protected with some super paint coating.
I got the cartec sicarbon+ but was not happy with that so they put some unnamed super stuff on it.

Now the rain cleans it so always nice and clean car with insane shine when dried paint.

Would be interested to know what coating was applied. Coming from a white f10 which always looked clean, the med blue is a ocd nightmare

Yeah I've asked.
I know them thru former deals and some business so they talk to me like I work there and this is some stuff they won't tell.

They tell me not to think so much about it. But they say this is the shit and it will last for 3 years without any renewing etc.

These ppl that do coatings - I feel they are always doing a bad job and/or product is not working as expected the first time and after you complain they will fix it and then suddenly it's really working good.

I'm wondering if they use bad product and do not so good job at first and hope not to get complain - this to save money. But when someone complain they do it proper and everyone is happy bit they made a little less from it.

Just my thoughts.
