Black Alcantara Twin on seats
Opinions to those people who have them on your C350s. Is it wise to have it or did you regretted getting that option? I want to know if it is harder to maintain than real leather (stain wise, dirt wise - blue jeans!, oil from skin, etc...) and how do you clean this material?
The only thing I can think off that will make you happy about the material is that when you go around a corner at 30mph your *** won't be planted on the door panels because of slipping from the seats.

I can't speak for a Mercedes, but I had alcantara inserts on a previous car. I really liked the way they looked. Taking care of the was no problem. Basically wipe them with a wet rag. They do wear though. When I sold my car with 160K miles the wear was pretty noticeable on the driver's seat. It would get for lack of a better term, stringy looking with sort of hairs coming out. A couple times I used an electric razor to trim those off. Didn't look bad. Get it. Just looks so nice in my opinion, but it does show wear eventually.
