Ivory leather

Has anyone on here got a later FL2 with Ivory leather? Is it a nightmare to keep clean? I have alpaca at the moment which has been fine but Ivory is much lighter.

Regular cleaning with a decent brand of leather cleaner, don't wait until its filthy. Glad I have black leather! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I have Ivory/Cream leather in another car and use Autoglym leather cleaner and treatment balm, it comes up a treat with a bit of effort Thumbs Up

I must admit it wouldn’t be my first choice of interior colour but all the Aintree Green FL2 come with Ivory leather.

We have always had (unless impossible and we REALLY wanted that particular car) light leather interiors, best cleaner I have ever found, and I’ve used just about every recommended one is DoDo Juice leather cleaner, it really does work on light leather.

But as mentioned previously the key is to clean it a couple of times a year regularly (some people do it more) and if it looks dirty don’t leave it, that’s when the dirt gets ingrained. Regards

David

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

I have ivory leather in my car... now with Land Rover seat covers on the front seats. Probably cleaned twice a year and looks good after cleaning and it looks good with the Firenze red although black would be my first choice now.

Worse than keeping the seats clean though is the premium carpet mats that came with the car... ivory whipping round the edges - long since been cleaned and stored in favour of LR rubber mats.

Seat covers don't do it for me, lovely leather but covered up 🤔 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Many thanks for your help and advice-much appreciated. Negotiations on price start tomorrow. Not holding out much hope-nobody seems to be moving on asking price.

I have the Tan color, I was skeptical at first but in the end it is not difficult to keep clean .. but I clean + nourish the leather every 2 months with Gliptone stuff
after 9 years it is still in good condition

I decided to avoid black if I can. It would be a lot easier and closer if it was that one. I have struggled to find one with the right history and condition for sensible money that isn’t black. My neighbour is buying mine so I decided to go for this one in Aintree Green. They are giving it a full service and new cam belt and water pump which brings the price down a little. They won’t budge on asking price though but I thought I would give it one more try.
