If you own a Tesla with a white interior, you know how easy cleaning stains is with Tesla's vegan leather technology.
However, the Tesla white interior does have one major downside.
If you're the type of person that likes to wear denim, your Tesla's white seats will show discolouration over time, which will require thorough detailing to remove.
Normally, people that are looking to clean their white Tesla interior will use mild soaps or baby wipes. This is usually enough to get food & drink stains out, but denim discolouration is a tougher problem that requires a more aggressive solution.
That's why we are writing this guide. If you're a Tesla white interior owner, or you are considering purchasing the white interior upgrade on your next Tesla, read on to see what kind of auto detailing & cleaning you'll be performing in the future.

He shared a photo of himself and his son inside a car on Twitter. Exactly 20 minutes later, under his tweet, a comment appeared that the combination of white seats and a child makes this person nervous.
This is a common concern shared by many potential white Tesla interior owners. However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself promptly responded:

It's often hard to clean this discolouration thoroughly, without the proper auto detailing experience:
