Hey guys,
I got my E350 last month, and well it was totally beautiful and clean when i got to sit in it the very first time.
But unfortunately with my daily use of the car, the seats have got slightly dirty you can't see it so easily until and unless in daytime (bright sunlight) and the wood trim got a few scratches but that was taken care off.
But i have no idea what to do with the seats, i am in India and my car goes for its First Inspection maybe next week because i am nearing the 3000miles!!!
Its mainly the driver seat which has most of the dirt and that to only on one side (cuz its darker on that side)

Please help me out, i have pictures of the dirt i don't know if you can see it but i surely can 0.0

Please help :

I have same color on my wife's E350, and I use leather brush and leather cleaner, gentle rub with brush, wipe with clean microfiber towel.
Then add Aerospace 303 protector for final finish.

Works great.

I have no relations to Dxxxxx Domain but they sells good stuff to clean cars.

A few months ownership and just 3000 miles and first inspection ?
This is weird indeed

This is why I dislike light interiors it's hard to keep them clean

I to be honest didn't drive it much when i got it, recently i have started driving it and they themselves told me plus a sticker to get the first inspection done either in 6months or 3000KMs so yea.

Is that Leather or MB-Tex? I couldn't stomach the upkeep on light Leather, but one of the reasons I love MB-Tex is because you don't have to walk on eggshells with it.

I have a damp chamois I keep, and when I start seeing some dark elements on my seats, I just do some heavy scrubbing, and I never use any chemicals. No problems, gets it all out, good as new.

ok, doing your first service at 3000km is ridiculous.

in china, the dealers always tell you that you should take the car in for the first service at 5000km or so, but it's a bunch of bull*****. the only reason they tell you that is so that they can milk you more. but you'd be surprised how many people in china actually believe that. i guess a lot of drivers in china just switched from riding bikes to their lamborghinis and bentleys over the past few years, so they have no idea how this thing works.

in the mean time, i wish i could trick money out of people EZ like the dealers here. ka-ching!

Hey leapingpoint,
Its a little tag which you get in the CAR!!!
Its not my choice and hey who the heck are you to tell me? Didn't you read the line "First Free Service At 3000KM"?
If not, please get some glasses.
Try to be a little if not, NICE?
The point of having forums is to be helpful, does that word even exist in your dictionary? And every damn country has their own damn rules and regulations every company has to follow!
If you can be "KIND" or "NICE" then be bothered to comment. I didn't ask for criticism, just a little advice.
And i don't have to pay a single penny for this service and not that i care, i have plenty of money to spill.

K-A - Its leather bro, thanks for the advice will try it all out

Zamkato

Got some awesome news
I called up the MB people, they said with this free service "3000KM" the car seats will be cleaned and if any darkness (dirt n stains and all) they will be removed and the car will as it was the day it rolled out of the shop

Thanks to all who contributed Will update this thread once car is back

Good news , kudos to your dealer

Zamkato

Will post pics once all nice and shiny :P

Ah, don't take my advice then! Lol. Mine was only for MB-Tex. With Leather you want to be more careful and use the right products, with M-B Tex, just scrub away and voila, good as new.

Looks like the Dealer took care of it though, so no worries (for now ).
