Help protecting against denim stains!!

What leather protector do you guys use on oyster seats? I hate denim stains on that lovely oyster leather and am wondering if there is a way to prevent them aside from sitting on a towel haha

Lexol Leather Cleaner. I let my girlfriend knit some sort of same color ''matt'' / towel where I sit on so I feel your ''pain'' hahahahahaha. It looks beautiful but it's a ***** to keep clean.

Have had my F11 since February and clocked up about 15,000 miles. I have the oyster leather and have not had any problem with denim staining.

I haven't bought any new jeans in that time though, so all of mine have been washed many times so perhaps there is no loose colour to rub off.

When I do have any marks I just use wet wipes to clean the leather. Simple and effective.

I have the same issue with my oyster after 7 months. I tried frantically to wipe it clean with dealer supplied wet wipes and some leather protectors in the beginning but now I have more or less given up. However, it doesn't seem to get any worth.

I'd love to hear about any "magic" solution if such thing exists...
