If 2023’s are available with Hammerhead Grey leather I’m strongly considering. I’ve had other Grey Leather vehicles in the past with mixed reviews but no horror stories to share. Everyone has an opinion but I’m really looking for feedback from Dodge buyers with Hammerhead interiors. Black would be safest but two tone is calling me.

Do you like it, regrets, problems or do you protect it with a particular product etc. what’s your thoughts or suggestions.

I don't own one, but I've seen it in person. It's almost white... with a subtle shift towards light grey. If I did own one, I'd take care of it the same way I do my natural leather in my C8 (also a light colored leather). I clean with Zymol leather cleaner and use a product called Leather Honey for protection. The Zymol is a straight forward wipe on, wipe/rub/scrub off. The Leather Honey is put on fairly heavily, like you would oil a baseball glove. Then, you let it sit overnight; excess, drips and all. After it's sat on for 8-12 hours, it easily rubs off. That stuff keeps the leather supple and it prevents future staining.

Leather Honey is not as good as an interior ceramic coat, but it also doesn't cost $500. I think it's about $12 at common auto parts stores.

Whichever products you use, light colored leather isn't a problem so long as you keep it protected. Stains won't be permanent if you keep the treatment up every 6-8 months.

I never seen Hammerhead in person either. I’ve seen dealership pics looked light grey like name. Dodge sight it looks white. My buddy who seen it in person said it looked grey, It was super soft.

I’m thinking B5 Blue with Hammerhead interior would really pop.

I haven’t seen it in person, dealership photos look light grey and Dodge sight looks white. My buddy seen it in person on indigo Blue said it was soft and contrast really popped.

Considering a 23 B5 / Hammerhead

I read on here that people were saying that blue jeans can stain those white leathers?

Blue jeans stain all leather. On the plus side, if a material causes contact staining, it'll usually wipe off easily (blue jeans, crayons, solids like dirt/mud). The stuff you have to worry about with light leather are things like liquid spills... especially those with oil based liquids that can penetrate the leather. Leather is an organic thing and can absorb oil or fat based liquids. If the seats aren't protected, the stain can bond with the leather. Getting those kinds of stains out is difficult and often requires steam or high pressure cleaning.

Black leather masks stains, but they're still there. Even on black, heavy jeans stains will start to show by turning the seat bolsters indigo. After you clean them, you can really see the difference. The eye just doesn't notice it at first since most stains are also dark colored. Lighter leathers obviously show more stains, but both light and dark leathers get stained. On the plus side, at least with light leather you can see stains or imperfections early so they can be removed early and easily. With black leather, by the time your eye notices something, it's likely been there so long it may be permanent.

Saw it in person thought it looked great. Was a little lighter than originally thought which I like. These cars aren’t daily drivers for the most part so wouldn’t worry about the blue jeans although have heard problems especially vettes. Good care and maintenance, getting in and out the car correctly ! also depends on the person. if you’re 300 pounds size 42” dragging across the seat it’s not gonna be the same if you’re 150 31” waist and drop into seat.

Just MO, but I think it’s a GREAT look. And goes with any exterior color.

How do you think this color would look with sublime?

same products for my demonic red seats? My wife's Telluride?

As with any leather product, always test it first to ensure color safeness. I've never owned or worked on a Telluride, so I don't know with any certainty about the leather on those. In general though, mainstream leather conditioners are safe for almost all leathers. You run into issues with synthetic leather (see: most Toyota cars) and rough natural leather (often called buckskin). If you put the conditioner on regularly, in the event you do get a stain, normally water or a leather cleaner will remove the stain easily. If the leather isn't treated, the material causing the stain can seep deeper into the leather, which makes getting it out a bit more problematic and labor intensive.

And, for those of you with small children, take what I said about stains and instead go to church and pray.

Yup. I've seen white leather with custom blue staining due to blue jeans.
