So I hope to be picking up our F150L in a few days depending on finance approval, however I was wonder how to minimize the transfer of color to the white leather on the Platinum trims? I remember owning a Kia Cadenza, and it also had white leather. Since I wore blue jeans a lot, I found that there would be a hint of blue on the leather after some time of using the car.

Spend some time looking up Tesla/White cleaning, and you'll find plenty of resources.

I haven't seen a Plat in person, but I don't think they are as stark white as tesla's so that color transfer shouldn't show up as much.

For the most part just wipe them down w/ a baby wipe weekly, and monthly do a deeper scrub w/ some leather cleaner/conditioner.

Even if color transfers, it can usually be cleaned to the point where ~90% of that new color is gone.

There are ceramic coatings for seats. I bought a white interior Ioniq 5, and I used two separate products and didn't feel like they did much to create a "wear" layer.

It's not a pure white, it has got a little bit of a blue tinge to it honestly. I wear jeans almost exclusively, and so far I haven't noticed any transfer.

I had white seats in a Tesla for 4 years. To note - Tesla is not leather. It is a man made product - another note - likely the best seating surface I've had.

To say the least - cleaned easily twice in 4 years with baby wipes. Very little to no color transfer from jeans which is about all I wear. Try a baby wipe on them.

Gyeon has a leather protection I've head good marks about for protection.
