This is what I use too. I have ivory white interior.

Thanks for posting pics. Trying to decide if a light interior would be okay with kids and jeans.

Just picked up my M5 with full Silverstone interior. I've been using ColourLock for ages with excellent results. They specialize in leather.

Just discovered one of their new products to protect the leather like a ceramic coating but for leather. I'm gonna give it a go. Check out the video here:

I think that's not dye transfer. I think that's abrasion of the leather. I could be wrong, but that would explain why nothings taking it off. I'll go on record to straight recommend a re-dye/restore to make that go to the right color.

But, also, being honest, what you are looking at is one of the reasons I HATE light interiors. I had one 17 years ago on a Honda Accord, and it was a BITCH to keep clean/marks off the leather/dirt off the dash.

Since then, its been black. Don't like much else.

Goof Off Marks, Messes, & Stains Remover (FG659WM)

I have used Goof Off Marks, Messes, & Stains Remover (FG659WM) with great success to remove pen ink, sharpie ink, and die transfer from light colored leather seats. This is a mild water-based solution in a plastic container that is safe on leather, not to be confused with the oil-based Pro Strength Remover in the metal container. It has been a life saver on leather and fine clothing.
