Has anyone experienced discoloration of terra dakota leather on the driver seat outside bolster as well as the seat back?

Discoloration or wear? Driver's side bolsters usually take a lot of abrasion from getting in and out of the car.

Picture?

But yeah, the left booster will get a work out esp if sport.

I am very careful to not bump my ass on it getting in and out.

Seems more like discoloration then wear, i'm pretty careful not to brush against the bolster, its on the bolster and on the seat back as well, Ill add a picture.

Have you tried leather cleaner and conditioner?

I had black leather in my last car and did not notice any discoloring, but did notice some wear on the stitching on the outside drivers bolster over time. New car has oyster leather and after only 3K km I can see it is getting noticeably discolored just basically from accumulated grime.
