Here's a semi off topic question.... I bought my car used, the previous seller told me that he had optioned for the real leather... however with all of the new kinds of fake leather I really wouldnt be able to tell the difference... is there a way for me to tell whether I have MBtex or real leather without seeing the original option sheet?
go to a dealership and take a look at the 2, you can't miss the difference.

Yeah, I definitely have Mbtex... it's perf'd and the leather wasn't available like that right? To be honest, looking at the non perf'd leather - i would rather have the MBtex.. the only thing that bothers me is that the previous owner lied to me about it... I was admittedly uninformed about the leather/MBtex options and I was more concerned about MM/Nav,Pano and the AMG wheels.. I'm still completely in love with my car but am bugged by someone trying to pass off the Tex as leather... oh well, I don't think I'd even trade for leather if I could.. It's just the principle!

As a side note I have long experience with Mercedes and the tex interiors ware like iron. When the leather starts looking shoddy the Tex will look like new. I`ve looked at older cars with 100.000+ miles and the tex looked good.

Try Zaino Z-10 Leather in a Bottle. No shine and has leather smell.

The product itself doesn't get any easier as applied, just apply and let dry, how easy is that!
I also like the fact that its not super shiny, more of a matte look.
Thanks for the comments, if I had to make a recommendation in the future, go with the Zaino Z-10.
I use other Zaino products and have never been disappointed!
