This interior is just drop dead gorgeous! But I hope you have the time required to keep it white... Even Silverstone requires quite a bit of maintenance, so don’t even want to guess the number of hours per week needed to keep it looking like this. But absolutely gorgeous!

There's always new tech in car treatments/protectacts, for example ceramic type coatings for interiors which you could try? Ultimately will depend on OCD you are about your interior, especially with young kids!

Just a heads up. everytime a girl in shorts sit in the front seat.... you're gonna get a little bit of color on the seat that you need to leather conditioner to clean.
Rather is from lotion if youre lucky, to self tanner which is a nightmare... you'll be cleaning your seats A LOT.
I had the white interior for 2 years.

oh even blue jeans leave marks if they're too new.

I have a Silverstone interior. It's gorgeous, but there is work in keeping it that way. Be prepared to invest in ColourLock mild and strong leather cleaner, and then their leather protector and leather shield in the large sized bottles.

Nice!
Mine looks pretty similar (a part for some plastic in the seats which mines are black and not all white)
When I used to drive the car everyday (just for work) I ended up cleaning the leather once every week, max once every two weeks.
Not because it was dirty (it's a strong leather btw) but because if you plan to hydrate the leather, you have to clean it first.

I'm mostly alone in the car, so I was mainly concentrated on the driver seat and the steering wheel.
Usually every 2 or 3 months I'll clean and hydrate every pieces of leather just for precaution from UV and dust that can accumulate.

Colourlok is going to be your best friend. Contrast stitching is the biggest problem in keeping my silverstone looking good. The color wears fast with minimal use. I re-dye / update it twice a year.

While the color is beautiful, I will opt for cinn or black in the future.

Q tips and fine artist brushes are what I've found to be the solution to this, so you can get the dye between the two lines of stitching.

And a steady hand... and lots of patience!

It really is a lot of maintenance with this colour, but it looks amazing in the car.
