MB Tex protection / cleaning

What's the word on how to clean MB Tex? Treat it just like leather? Or is there a special cleaner for it? (please don't say I have to buy something from the dealership!)

Yea I'm curious too. Do they have such a product at the dealership? I wouldn't mind spending some extra cash and getting it at the dealership if it was the best quality stuff for our material.

Tex is vinyl. It is not fragile, unlike leather. Any cleaner for the purpose will work. No, not from a dealer.

More than a few MB-Tex cars in my MB past.

I've used a diluted solution of warm water and Murphy's Oil Soap with a microfiber cloth. It works extremely well on leather (which is not as durable or forgiving) so it should be great and inexpensive cleaner for your seats.

There's no need to treat or condition. If you must, there are many vinyl conditioners out there. Just don't use Armor All, as I heard it damages vinyls and plastics much faster over prolong use.

mb-tex cleans up really easy with a damp cloth.
