Who or what has been sitting/laying there?  🤔

Just people - and not even that many at all.  The spots are very random.  Only a couple spots so far.  It almost looks like the sun faded it but that also doesn't make sense.

My blue jeans would 'dye' the light colored leather in my 2015. Thorough cleaning fixed it. The piping wore prematurely in my opinion, I make special effort not to slide in and out and the finish was wearing off anyways.

 

I hate cloth upholstery because it collects and holds dust in it. I hate our 'leather' upholstery because very poor quality.

This is the Denali ultimate.  If I have to worry about the same things you did on your 2015.... as you can imagine.... I'll be livid.

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not speak at or above this man, he drives a DENALI ULTIMATE and should not have to deal with such comments and irrelevant posts...

 

News flash, all brands have issues if used carelessly and not taken care of. Any search of King Ranch, Laramie Longhorn and even German luxury brands have forums of people with seats wearing. Take are if it and it will take care of you, if you slide in and out a ton well nothing won't show and wear.

Dang, if only there was a device I could use to suck up the dust... 

 

That is what I love about cloth, it is durable and easy to address any issues. I can vacuum it, if it gets bad a shampooer will deep clean it, they are lighter, more comfortable, less complex (no fans and cooling agents needed), they don't get near as cold or hot (they naturally breath and you don't stick or burn to it) and the maintenance is minimal to last a long time (no cleaner and conditioner needed). All I do is vacuum the seat when I vacuum the floors and that is pretty much it. Put a seat cover on when wet (which I do with leather too), it really is a great material and glad to see it making a comeback and be a premium option in some high-end brands like Porsche and Mercedes.

My wife’s 2011 Genesis seat looks brand new. No I don’t think there’re using better quality leather. She sits on a cushion. They make all kinds. The Honda with just 2 years of my butt is starting to show wear. The seats a little hard, I’m going to try one.

Not enough time with mine yet but I've owned 2 King Ranch Fords and the leather didn't stay perfect. I look at some leather variation as character. If it bugs you, it's worth a trip by the dealership. I suspect you could get it warrantied.

Realized my slightly discolored black leather spots are due to a family members over application of sun screen. I’ve gotten most of the white sunscreen out but still a noticeable spot. Not sure what cleaner to use that won’t further damage the fake leather. 
 

Your discolored spots could be due to lotion or sunscreen transfer.

At or above me?   You sound like a complete douche bag.  I don't care what level vehicle you buy - but when you spend $85k plus on a vehicle and it starts to have interior issues inside of 2000 miles that's a problem - idc who you are.  
 

re read the rules of this forum.  Don't be a dick for no reason douche bag.

Oh I definitely agree with ya there - no doubt about it.  But again.  2k miles it shouldn't be happening

...except that after you've finished vacuuming it - whack it a couple times and watch the dust fly.

 

Off topic, why have we not figured out a better floor covering for vehicles than carpet?

Your point? You have leather seats just like I do. I was dissatisfied with the color integrity of mine too. Thank GAWD i didn't spend $85K or I'd be really livid...

 

Good thing paying that much gets you out of the plebian problem bracket. I'd watch out though - that truck was painted in the same line as the lowly WT, sure hope none of the overspray got on it.

Look like something spilled or rubbed off someone's pants, possible say something like placing a hot pizza box on the seat could stain it like that perhaps. Know that this is gm and the seats even in a 100k denali truck will source the cheapest quality leather, and hell 50% of the seats are fake leather and not even real, only the seating tops are actual leather unless that has been changed but i doubt it.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
