My car has a white interior but it's so hard to keep clean and through time the white is more yellow. I bought some paint made exclusively for leather seats and it looks great but still marks up so easy. Does anyone know of a sealant or protective coating that can be applied after painting them ?

The issue has gotten worse ! I painted the seats with a white acrylic paint that looks fantastic. I let them dry for over a week then put in the drivers seat only. After driving the car for a short run, the seat had blue from my blue jeans and black from you shirt on it! There's got to be a sealer that will stop this. I've thought of putting a wax on it but is that really the solution? If anyone has experience with this please help !

No experience with that for me. Sorry.
The only thing I've heard people say good things about is SEM dye / paint. Have no idea if it can be applied over what you already have sprayed on there.

I have no experience with painting/dying seats.
Honestly, I would have been gun shy to do it. My expectation would be that they would not hold up.
Dying non contact parts is one thing......doing seats is a whole different animal.
IIRC, the bucket seats in my daily driver 73 Charger in the early 90's had been dyed by the previous owner.
It didn't hold up particularly well....but it didn't transfer to my clothes as far as I remember.

I've used a vinyl dye on my camaro bucket seats back in the 80s. It held very well but it was dark green to black.
Maybe you can contact the manufacturer and l let them know that the seats are staining easily with clothing. If they don't resolve it maybe they will do something for you.

Honestly? I'd NEVER EVER will paint an interior part. Except metal ones of course, but never softs or plastics. Unless there are not any other solution

Had a friend do that to his front seats and they were never the same again and nothing but frustrating so-called fixes. In the end he finally spent the $$$ and just got new cover from Legendary.....

If I followed the thread correctly, the seats have been dyed/painted twice recently.
First product marked up easily, 2nd product apparently has adhesion issues. (probably not compatible with product #1)
At this point, I don't think a happy ending (in a spray can) is realistic.
I like using SEMS Landau black on the interiors of my cars....
BUT I don't use it for color changes or seats. Just very light misting to freshen up original black parts.
