I have full Merino Ivory on my G05, and so far (1.5 years in) it's been great. Given, I get weekly washes and keep it pretty clean by avoiding getting in with wet or dirty clothes. I've come to find the best product to keeping the Merino fresh and clean are Sonax Leather wipes. They come in a handy rounded box that fits in my door pocket. I give them the once over every few weeks, and it cleans and conditions the leather. I do it at the end of the day when I get home, and by the next morning, it's all soaked in and supple and clean.

It takes more maintenance, but boy is the effort worth it.
