Does anyone have issues with your white leather seats showing fading signs? I have a 2016 C450 and only 37,000 miles on the car and there are some spots on the driver side with what seems to be fading on the white leather.
I wouldnt think that this should happen with such little milage on the car.

Do you have pictures to share? When's the last time you cleaned and conditioned the leather? Do you wear denim jeans or blue dress pants? Your seats are no different than carpet in your house, except for your *** instead of your feet! White leather is going to be the most susceptible to showing dye/dirt/grime transfer, no matter how clean you think you are. Need some pics to give an accurate answer...

Thank you RichardCranium3.
I don't wear denim Jean's much but I do wear dark dress pants usually with a black belt.

I use Chemical Guys leather cleaner, serum and conditioner. The last time I did the seats were about 2 months ago.

That does not look like fading but stains and/or dirt embedded in the leather.if you can't get it clean yourself with your current products maybe try another or take it to a professional detail shop. Ask your dealer parts dept what MB has to clean leather.

Yep, that's 100% dye transfer. Perils of white leather unfortunately. Regular cleaning and conditioning is your best solution. I've had great success with Chemical Guys and Adam's Polishes leather cleaning solutions. AMMO NYC is another option, albeit top shelf price.

Gtechiq I2 tri-clean should be able to safely remove most of that, if not a professional detailer / car upholstery repairer would be able to.

I’ve been using Gtechniq L1 leather guard on my silk beige interior and it’s been doing wonders to prevent staining and dye transfer. Cleanup is a breeze too.

That looks like color transfer from where your belt rubs. Have you tried soap and water on both your seats and your belt?
