Your jeans may not be wet but the products that you are using on the leather is keeping your seats damp. The top of the leather may be dry but further in the leather is probably still wet. And wear tan.

Lighten up. Some of the smarta$$ remarks add a lot of humor to the day.

I wasn't trying to be a smarta$$. I tried a pair of Member's Mark jeans because they were cheaper than Levis. On my last truck with gray leather they left a blue hue around my where my butt sat and at the front edge of the seat. I cleaned the seat and went back to Levis and never had that problem again.

Just trying to be helpful, that's all.

Trust me i have a sense of humor. And I love WALMART. DAMMIT haha. Im just pretty pissed about my seats. Its true I am probably conditioning them too much. Just the cold climate up here I didnt want my seats cracking. Plus I have never had a truck this nice so I thought I was doing a good thing. OOOPs.

Better than tan skidmarks on blue seats.
Walmart still see GWG's I used to buy mine there all the time when they went on sale for 19.99. AS good as Levi's, my wife liked my butt in them, so did girls at work but don't tell my wife.

It is not just a Dodge thing. It happens in a new Acura as well. That is why we always get black or dark slate leather in our vehicles now. It is what is in all three of our vehicles.

My Pebble Beige seats do the same thing. I have not put any conditioner on the seats. I use Tuff Stuff interior cleaner once a week and it removes all of the blue stain.

Default Try this stuff

There is a product called "Foam Away" that will clean the leather to "like new" condition. It works great but should not be used too frequently.

BTW - I have the same truck and love it.

Default Blue leather seats

Itnis not blue from jeans. I Own a 2010 Chrysler town and country. Have been to the dealer five times. They are aware and say it is due to the blue theyuse to get the leather a light color. It cannot be fixed. They are putting in all new leather and said it will come back again! I am fighting with Chrysler and not getting anywhere . Have contacted an attorney and going forward as am very dissatisfied.

Any light colored leather will eventually discolor, just the nature of the beast.
I've seen friends tan/light colored seats and without exception, they all look like crap within a year or two. I should add this is also in high end vehicles like BMW and Merc.
Consequently I only buy black/dark colored interiors only without exception.
