Cloth actually tends to age better in my experience. Automotive leathers are often bonded and sealed leathers these days, so they have a finite amount of moisture and colorant that wear out over time. Cloth is quite durable as long as you don’t have anything that’ll catch on it or rub it too bad, which is also a weakness of leather and vinyl as well.

In my experience cloth eventually gets stained and stinks after even relatively minor spills. The foam underneath soaks everything up. The same spills are minor and easy to clean from leather.

Clearly ymmv, I appreciate you sharing yours.

Cloth can be cleaned with one of those portable fabric cleaners.

Or don't eat fast food and drink soda or wine or coffee in the car.

Wine?!

[fragmede]

yeah because it stains real bad. Also the driver shouldn't be drinking wine in the car for obvious reasons but eg taxis.
