I've never used the Connolly product, but have heard good things about it.

I think that most C63 are going to show some wear on the bolster.....just no way around this based upon the seat design. I have some light wear and am very careful getting in and out of the car. Leather conditioner helps. Enjoy!!

Unfortunately there is no way around. The leather seats will eventually wear and tear with time. I have seen a couple of solutions though, car seats(I don't recommend) and getting in and out of the car holding your weight on the frame/roof of the car and sliding your body in but even like that is a hassle.
I purchased a bottle from Mercedes dealer that cleand and recondition the leather but you need to get the idea of wear.

Seat setting 1 is for driving. I hit seat setting 3 before getting out and it pushes the seat most of the way back so I don't rub on getting out or getting back in.

we all pay a lot for the car, but its the engine and performance that i enjoy, these normal wear and tear thing, as long as it is not too ridiculous, i will not concern that much.

Not to hijack the point of the thread, but discussion/reviews on the best seat preserver/protector is probably what we all "really" want to know.

After 18 months and 13 000 miles, my seats look close to new.
rivets on your jeans???
I don't let anyone sit in my sahara beige C63 that has those nasty metal studs on their jeans or if I suspect they have dirty pants.
If they want they can look at it all they want but they ain't sitting in it.

Very nice! Is this there by default? I remember when going to see my car the steering was very high so the feature might already me on...

This helps, but unfortunately MB decided to make this less useful on the current C class as on my C32, this option also moved the seat all the way back and then returned it to your desired postion when starting the car.
