do the white leather seats get dirty/stained easily?
i am looking at buying a C63 with white leather interior. i love the way it looks, but am wondering if the seats will get stained or dirty easily, and if it would be easy to clean up. i remember once i was wearing jeans and sat on someone's new white leather living room bench, and i left a stain

Yes, they look great. Yes, they are a pain to keep clean. Yes, new jeans will stain. I have a light tan interior called "Ivory" in my Jaguar and it was such a pain to keep clean. I had to clean it once or twice a month in order for it to look good. It's just too high maintenance for me. I love the black seats in my C32 because they show no dirt, and always look great. Granted, I still clean and condition them once a month but it's far easier than light colored interior.

I have the ash interior (probably close to what you are looking at) and it is more maintenance than black but it is really not that bad. The car is a daily driver and I wash the seats with a leather cleaner once every 3 months and they look as good as new. Go for it if you like it.

I was worried about the same thing... Went ahead and bought the car. Some stains show but they come out. The trick is to watch the seats closely and get on new blemishes quickly before they soak in. One spot to watch is the armrest on the drivers door as the grease builds up and distorts the finish slightly if you let it go too long.
I find the white interior adds a touch of exclusivity and much prefer it to a run of the mill black interior. Strange as it may sound watching the interior and a more conscious effort to clean has caused me to connect with the car more than I thought I would.

One of the reasons I went for a BMW 335d was its medium reddish tan interior, a bit darker than Mercedes ash. Living in a hot sunny climate with a black interior wasn't my idea of a good time. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing my leather belt soil the seats and they are still hard to clean.
