I purchased a product from the dealer that is a white cream(looks like hand lotion and is white). This product not only cleans but it also recondition the leather. This is what the accesories/parts salesman told me and that is what they recommend.

This is exactly the product:

Hearing about the leather cream/seat conditioner is good; but can anyone recommend what I can do to prevent discoloration of my leather seats? I have an '07 E350 (Cure version) with two-tone interior and the driver's seat seems to be absorbing the dark colors of the driver's clothing. I'm the second owner of the car, I've just had the car since January and was recently told by someone that I should be aware of this problem with the light interior I have.

Thank you.

I use Zaino Z10 once every three weeks or so and it will keep the leather from drying out. Leather is a natural product and will wear. But the drying out is what makes it crack. Here's a review from a pro detailer on Zaino Z10: http://www.detailcity.org/forums/det...er-bottle.html

That's the nature of the light color. I used to have the same car (a 2009 version of the Cure with leather, not MBTex.) Only way to resolve it is to never slide on or off the seats (impossible) or just put up with it and clean it often. You can use the Zaino mentioned above by putting some on a microfiber cloth and wiping it down. Or use DP Total Interior Cleaner on a cloth (you might need to use a leather and vinyl scrub brush if the stains haven't been cleaned for a while) http://www.autogeek.net/dp340.html

Connolly for sure. I've yet to have any seat issues in any of my cars with leather seats. It's used by almost every major auto manufacture (Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Lexus, etc etc etc).

+1 on the Connolly. I also use that but only once a year as a major treatment (it's kinda pricey stuff.) I still use the Zaino Z10 as my all around cleaner conditioner for the once a month or so cleaning applications.

All car leather (except for leathers like the non-treated pumpkin color leather in the Volvo S60R) has a surface treatment. On new car leather all products (like Connolly) just sit on the surface. It takes a while for the leather to be able to absorb anything. No sense in doing a full treatment (like with Connolly) until after a year or so.
