This is spot on. I have done this for years. The ecru interior of my Lexus SC430 looks brand new after five years due to towel protection with blue jeans and so does the Tuscan brown interior of my two year old S5. Blue Jeans dye is impossible to remove.

Maybe it's just Audi leather? I've had my 3 series for 8 years now and I wear jeans 90% of the time and have never had any discoloration.

I am interested in knowing if metal buttons on jeans damage the leather in the Audis like they do on some leather chairs (leaving indents and what not).
