If the baby wipes work, just keep them under your seat so you always have them to clean up messes. They sell them for super cheap at Target and most grocery stores. I think your test goes to show how great the stain resistance of the seats really is - regardless of the cleaner used. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the video. I had denim transfer from blue jeans on my white seats after wearing jeans in them for several months. Dish soap and water on a microfiber cloth took it right off.
They are really handy but what I didn't realise until recently is that they are plastic based, therefore a non-recyclable single use plastic which has become an environmental scourge on land, sea & internal waterways. Also they present a nightmare for waste water treatment, both through sewer blockages & @ the treatment plants as people erroneously believe it's ok to flush them. I no longer buy them & try to choose plastic free alternatives as a result; also by reducing plastic usage I'm cutting down on my support for for the dinosaur juice industry.
Dish soap has a tendency to dry-out surfaces, including vinyl, which may lead to cracking, especially if you live somewhere very hot with a lot of sun light. I would definitely go with the car guys cleaner or any upholstery cleaner that also has a conditioning agent. ;)
Awesome video, i recent tried Dawn soap mix with water. It worked perfectly. I’ll been using baby wipes in the past, it doesn’t come off 8 of the 10 times I used it.
We've got Model X just about 6 months and the hand holders and other places have many tiny blackspots so it looks like dirty.Tesla service told us that it was our foult and we used some kind of aggresive liquid but we didn't.We used just the wet cloth.
The paste of the blue tape causes that dark dirt to appear on the white seat. I think if you use non adhesive tape for divider , it won’t look that dirty. We uses that similar tape on a persons skin, the skin looks dirty when the taped were removed.
It is funny that you should mention the Dyson vacuum. I was literally checking out the different options for a portable Dyson right before I watched your video. Where did you get the white microfibers from? I don't think I've ever seen white ones before.
Since it is white I hate to ask but what about stains such as pasta sauce or mud. Jeans don't seem like something that is a big concern to me. If you could test this then that would be amazing.
A person with a coat of cheaply dyed feathers got in my white interiored Tesla. Left horrible stains that were plainly - really plainly, painfully, visible. Tried various gentle methods of attack - did dirty some towels but it was still painfully obvious. Escalated the attack using different cleaners - no luck. The wife took the car out for errands while I fumed about what to do. I decided if I can't get the stains out, I might look into a dying solution - then there is the problem with the color match. I thought about having Tesla look at it while they take care of a couple of other things for me. Maybe they could recommend a cleaner or method - certainly, they must be experts. I finally decided to use acetone - if it melted the seat, I would buy a new one. Acetone did not visibly melt the seat or change the texture but it allowed it to be wiped off with a couple of gentle motions. The seat material did not seem to absorb the acetone but I'm letting the car it while it is charging in case it did indeed absorb some. When I go to unplug the car I'll wipe the seat down with some interior detail spray. I'll be curious to see if the harsher, but needed, approach will cause the seat to deteriorate prematurely over time.
Thanks for another phenomenal video. I’m here in Highlands Ranch and was number 7 in line at park meadows on the 31st and can’t wait for Model 3. I think I will spring for the white seats as long as they offer the black headliner. I feel like the current tan one may be weird looking with white seats. Thanks for all you guys do!
How are the seats holding up since you made this video? I want to buy a tesla so I am trying to decide on if I should do white seats. I think it deteriorates faster than the black
Thanks guys, great tips! By the way, please do not assume as I did that the mechanics will place a covering over the seat. They messed up my white vegan leather on my Model 3, but thanks to your video it's as good as new again. Prevention is still better than a cure though.
I had a friend of mine wearing a blue shirt he bought at Walmart sit in my white interior model 3 I have not been able to get the stains out completely even with a abrasive magic marker. Nightmare scenario.
Every single time a new person gets into my car they're genuinely scared to get the white seats dirty lol I always gotta tell them to don't worry I trust the seats!😂
Holy cow, after you peeling the tape revealing stain....I know I have to get black. Don't want to be stressed about how dirty the seat it. It looks nice tho.
Any suggestions for reducing crease marks. In this case . I have white seats model x 6 seater. 3rd row was folded flat over a small google wifi mini box for 2 nights . When I unfolded seats I noticed and saw box online indentation on back rest and seat . So now wondering if I should use any moisturizer to soften the crease or leave as is. Thanks !

I saw you have Dyson vac. I'm thinking of buying Dyson V8. What are your thoughts of yours? I would really like to hear from someone who isn't paid by Dyson :D
Well I learned two things watching this. What to clean leather seats with, and man my display is FILTHY. I kept thinking "you missed a giant spot right in the middle" and then I realized it was on my display.
Tesla Ultra whites "ARE STAIN-ABLE" My 2017 100D my wife had on past the knee black boots with black laces and the laces black stained my seat and will NOT come off I used Alcohol, magic eraser, 20 other chemicals and even tried 00000 steel wool pad. got it lighter but still stained . REALLY SUCKS GRRRR

Thanks for doing this. Gives me the confidence to pick the white seat option with my model 3

I have no kids, but always have baby wipes. I just find them handy to clean things with.

Why am I watching this when I don't even have a Tesla D:

It seems that the Car Guys cleaner may have required a bit less elbow grease vs the dish soap and baby wipe. Pretty close either way.

you are working really hard on your channel. Congrats!!! For your work.
Isn't rubbing alcohol the recommended solution to clean the white seat based on the user manual?
The paste of the blue tape causes that dark dirt to appear on the white seat. I think if you use non adhesive tape for divider , it won’t look that dirty. We uses that similar tape on a persons skin, the skin looks dirty when the taped were removed.
2:15 babies don't come with baby wipes... we all have to buy wipes somewhere :)
The downside to dish soap is that it can dry out your seats. I use dove shower soap (or any other moisturising shower gel).
I'm pretty sure synthetic leather can't dry out.
It definitely can. Bjorn Nyland's seats have dried and cracked at the seat bolster.
@@jamesfraser92 Has he recommended a best way to clean the synthetic leather seats?
It is funny that you should mention the Dyson vacuum. I was literally checking out the different options for a portable Dyson right before I watched your video. Where did you get the white microfibers from? I don't think I've ever seen white ones before.
Car detailing shops sell them.

I have white seats and I have blue stains that will will not come out on the left side bolsters. I have been using Meguiar's Gold rich leather wipes.
Best video I’ve seen on this so far….thanks.

Any deterioration?

Good to know Derik. I ordered a Model X white on white so this is helpful
You may have not noticed, there's an obvious 3 finger marks on the side of the door panel. See the video time frame between 0.26 to 0.31.

Thanks for sharing! Does this also work for cleaning the steering wheel? What do you use to clean the other interior surfaces?

I gave you a thumbs up but i really hate you because I regret not getting the white interior. It looks awesome.

How long have you had your ultra white seats?
Have added "long term stain" to my insult thesaurus.
Ola Leier a
Are you trying to sell white tesla seats or detergent or both?
Thank you. Very thorough, and helpful.
Not sure why you keep saying that you do not have baby wipes. You have plenty now :) Great video! Those are the vegan variant right?
You probably should have done just the cloth as a control
Try just a wet cloth, too?
Thank you!! Thumbs up 👍🏼

Shoutout your wife
A good microfiber cloth does much of the job itself.
Bought the baby wipes at the Dollar store.
Do you know if the white interior for model 3 will be added as part of a premium upgrade package or a separate option on its own?
+NH Berrics not entirely sure. I imagine seat color will be like the S & X once available for the 3.
Yes
good comparison, really valuable info - thanks for posting it!
🖖👍🖖Awesome videos👍🖖👍 keep up the good work.
Holy crap he looks just like coorky ramano
How come you guys aren't cold in Colorado's climate? You're wearing T shirts outside, in what temperature?
Denver is the Queen City of the Plains, they're not in the Rocky Mountains.
lab coat?
Dude, you don't have to have babies to have baby wipes. I use them all the time for multiple things.
We're you actually just an only child? (Of the universe)
Try gasoline.
why you so cute tho
First!
