I've got a 1998 C280 with black leather seats, and I'd like some info on caring for my seats. What should I buy to clean/protect them ?

And how often should I apply it ?


Thanks,

mc in rockville atm for summer school, but enrolled at umbc for the fall

go to pepboys and pick up some leather cleaner. spray and wipe.
if you have MB-tex leather (not real leather) get the vinyl cleaner.

the MB-tex leather is actually more durable then real leather seats.

if you have real leather... they will take more time and care to keep in good shape. just like leather shoes or leather jackets, if they dont have the right oils and moisture on them, eventually they will start to dry and crack.

if you have to leave your car out in the sun on hot days... buy a shade to put on your windows to protect your seats.

a thourough cleaning like Rincewind suggests, every few months...and cleaning with leather wipes (armorall leather wipes will do fine) every weekend.......

I use Meguiars every month and it seems to do a good job.

I use Connoly Hide Cream. It smells incredible.
