beige looks great! however i have beige in my current daily driver (nissan so im sure the leather is NO where as nice but...) and i have a problem with the dye coming off of black belts and staining the seat back. i condition it and clean it but it is still there. not dirt but looks like ink bleeding maybe due to using the seat heaters.... anyone have any advice? i would love to get a preowned 63 but i might shy away from beige due to this issue. it does look awesome however... any suggestions on this?

If it was well conditioned you should be fine. I run the heater once in a while on those cold south florida days and never seen anything transfer from it. Much better quality then the nissan.

thanks ARC101. i ASSUMED the leather was WAY better than nissan. just didnt know if the lower quality leather was the reason for the staining or what the real issue/solution was. thanks again. i love the sahara!

Even though I have Black Int I must admit It DOES look good, However why would you prefer to deal with all these issues stated above. ESPECIALLY the denim jeans issue... I wear jeans almost every day, I would be furious if that happend to my new C63. Although it looks nice, black looks just as nice and is safe...

not to get into fashion, but only certain jeans bleed - i wear jeans wenever im driving and it never comes off on my ivory RR interior - only once did it happen with a pair of my wifes dark blue jeans-
if u like sahara, get it - if u like black, get it - if its a toss up, then get black bc it is easier to maintain
personally, all black was too dull for me, the two tone was a no brainer

this was posted in another thread - anyone confirm if this is a custom interior?
im kind of paranoid about the sahara beige interior being changed over to all beige as opposed to beige and black
im assuming it is a c63 even though i cant make out the hood bumps under that tape -

I posted that and it was taken at the AMG factory in Affalterbach. It is a customers special paint and interior. AMG will do any colour inside and out if you want to a: take your car over there and b: pay the price. 
The dash is hand stiched leather (although you can't quite see it in this picture) which is what interested me.
They get the standard C class cars shipped in and then take them to bits and rebuild with all the AMG stuff, like the engine, brakes, suspension, steering wheel etc .etc.
Rest asssured the Sahara beige interior is still two tone and IMHO still looks better than this......

so what does everyone use to treat their leather?
and is there something u can apply when its new b4 you sit in it much to lessen scuff marks/stains on the leather? or to help them be removed easier?
