I honestly don't remember ever seeing that, but I may have seen it and overlooked it as I can't imagine myself finding white leather appealing.

There is a franchise called Leather/Vinyl MD that specializes in cleaning and restoration of all leather. They are mobile and come to you. They repaired a tear in my Camaro prior to getting my Z (This was in 06'). Great work and really easy. I think they are a NC based business, but a comparable service like this could probably help out.

Here's a link anyway:

I've heard of frost and perhaps that is what the OP meant, but the OEM frost leather seats are not white. Either way its irrelevant to the topic at hand.

your best bet is finding a local interior specialist - often times the hides can be redyed, or you might need a recovering
