This along with a micro fiber cloth works great, cleans interior seats and windows without residue.

Priced a bit higher at $10+. I used it today on the dash, doors and MB Tex seats. I highly recommend it. Leaves a matte, non slick finish that give the UV protection I wanted for the TX sun. Great on the seats- no sliding around. Nice clean aroma and should be easy to find in stores.
Where in TX are you located? I know someone in Dallas who is an authorized Griots dealer. He has quite a lot of their products available for pickup.

Most of the w204 comes with MB tex interior and I also noticed using Meguairs leather cleaner leaves a greasy finish. The moisturizers meant for leather seats are not absorbed by the vinyl (mb tex) interior. It is better to use Meguairs quik interior detailer as these can be used on vinyl without causing any greasy residue.

I think I've been using this for a couple years - Sonus Cockpit Detailer. I bought a concentrate and diluted it so it's very light; it works well as a light cleanser of leather, wood, plastic, and aluminum surfaces.

When I run out (very soon) I'll be trying either 1Z Einszett or Auto Finesse, I think. Not certain but I think there's another I'm forgetting. Either way, I use the towels below as they work well and are non-damaging.

Micro Fiber won't damage MB-Tex, but it will give it a shine.
