I'm sure I've read somewhere (searched this forum but no go) that it can be caused by the skin chemistry of the driver, in that some people just have more acidic secretions than normal.

I believe orange and black are the 2 options. Since the black one is a matte plastic with no coating, it will wear well regardless of body chemistry.

Dropped her off at Orlando Jag and she's getting the following done:
Quick question - The dealer said the 12K service was free but I thought only the 2016's had the free scheduled maintenance. Does my 2015 have the free maintenance also or is the first service free on all Jags?
- 12k Service
- Recall O2 Sensor
- Replacing Start/Stop Button
- Replacing Sticky Steering Wheel Plastic Surround

Hey guys,
I just wanted to post an update: I sold my R8 a little over a week ago and I'm still in mourning but the F-Type is helping me to get over it. I was able to sell my R8 for $65k to a guy in Georgia. I put new tires on the Jag and it made a huge difference in the handling of the car - I'm currently looking for new rims if you didn't see my other post.
I reallllllly like the Jag but I loved the R8... She's a hard act to follow. I think if I was coming from my previous BMW 335i I'd already be in love with the Jag but I'm still missing the R8 a lot. I'm sure it will pass with time. Thanks to everyone for all of the comments, answers and advice in helping me make my F-Type purchase.
