Everything seem's to be sticking to the cloth seats..
If i known it was this hard to keep these cloth seat's clean i would have got leather. I had leather on all my car's except the c230. I decided to go cloth because of the cracks you get from leather as time goes by. And in Calgary at -30 weathers it can be very cold( No heated Seats) and in summers it burns my legs. So i said lets save couple grand and go with the cloth. Mistake.. I like the cloth seats don't get me wrong but every damn thing sticks to it. I have a dog and a cat and everytime i sit in this car the hair from the animals stick every where. And the dust also starting to drive me crazy a little. Almost every day i have to wipe down the seats.
Any ideas how to get rid of the static from the cloth seats. I think that's why everything is starting to stick to it. Even my arm hair stands up when i sit in this car from all the static.. I should have listen to the Wife and got leather.

Have you tried scotch guard? I put some on my car just so in the unfortunate event that something should spill in it , the stain wouldnt be so bad.

Hey BlackC230Coupe, I don't let any pet's in my car also. It is just the hair that get's stuck from the pets on my pant's or shirt will stick to the cloth seats really bad.

Oh wait there is one more choice go to CST and get some aftermarket leather. Unless it's a lease.

If i remember correctly I used 3M. Depending on what part of the country you are in go to your local, Autozone, advanced auto etc, and look at the different brands of scotch guard they have. I would recommend trying it in a hidden area first though, no problems here, but you can never be too careful.

Iceman you have to make a decision. If you let your pets in the car you will pay the price - with cloth or leather. Have you ever seen leather seats that a cat has decided to stretch his claws in ? Nice little holes all over the place. I think you would prefer to vacuum once in a while instead.

I've used 3M scotch guard on my coupe and it really works.
One time my friend set on the coke bottle which was not closed
tightly. As he was setting I heard gas coming out of the coke bottle and coke was all over the seat. I wiped it right away with the napkins and it didn't even left one single stain.
By the way mine is Oyster cloth which do not tolerate any small stain.....everything is visible on this cloth seat.

I've used ScotchGuard (works great) Also lint brush or tape roller, both ok, but a damp cloth or fabric spounge are the best (other than my Electrolux) for remove pet hair and lint.
Short knap velour seats (like VW) especially black is the worst. The MB cloth should be a snap to kep clean in comparison.

how much?
How much did it cost you to have scotchguard on your oyster cloth? I was thinking of doing the same on mine, where did you buy the products? what is the exact brand? and how much was the total?
Thanks...

I bought mine at Auto Track store, but I think you could get them at Wal-mart too. You can't miss this spary can. It says 3M Scotch Gauard on the can.
