Local availaiblity looks kinda short for a non-navi unit...so I'm debating flipping from graphite to stone interior.

The question is: how well does the Stone wear? I'm a long-term owner (coming out of an 11 year old prelude), and I think the Stone is alittle light.

I would expect the wheat to really show dirt and wear and tear, but how bout the Stone?

Choices look to be blue slate / graphite, or platium graphite / stone.

Thanks!

I have stone and wear is OK, but it definitely shows dirt. The passenger side gets less use and is fine but the drivers seat and grab handle on the door need cleaning - personally, I would go with graphite.

 

Stone offers all the black of a graphite EXCEPT for the leather/carpeting.

Makes for a slightly cooler seating surface in the heat.

Stone seems to be the most popular interior that we sell in my location, with graphite being second. Wheat isn't popular at all.

 

We like the stone & have no regrets, just a quick wipe down w/ armor all cleaning wipes does the trick once a month, plus we live in the desert so a black interior just gets too hot for us, we've had black interiors before and unless we move to a cooler climate we won't get one again (they do look nice though). I really like the look of the stone interior w/ graphite mats, definately a nice contrast.

 

It will be okay, mostly depends how you care for it. I recommend turtlewax ice for interior and meguiar gold class paste(not wipe or spray) dont mess up the perforated holes.

No issues with stone in my G either. Some have reported some staining from blue jeans but I have not experienced that in my vehicle. I use the Lexol cleaner and condition wipes once a month so maybe that addresses that issue.

I was going to initially buy a graphite interior G but once I saw stone I changed my mind.

 

My last G35 had stone interior and it was great, I never found it difficult to care for and mine never really looked dirty. I have graphite in my present G35 and it shoes the dust more readily. I almost wish I had got the stone interior again.
