What are you using on your seats? I bought some Connoly leather care, but it is a bit too cold to rub this stuff into the seats just yet.

You could die between now and when the new 2015 C gets released, buy a car now and enjoy it. All these AMGs depreciate fast, even my CLK BS took a big hit. CARS ARE NOT SAFE INVESTMENTS! If you are worried about depreciation find a new hobby and buy a $20k Kia.

Look into new factory skins for the seats. They are not that expensive. Hopefully its only the drivers seat that needs to be changed.
Do it now, so you get the most out of your time with the car.
Now we can both wait patiently for the W205 BS.

Anyone have the part numbers for the driver and passenger front seat skins? Can't find them anywhere! I think they are split as bottom and top pieces.

Here is what I find for the front seat covers.
It shows Left and Right as the same part #.

Lets face it, the leather used in the C63's suck from a longevity standpoint, especially if you daily drive it. The left bolster on the drivers seat takes alot of beating when you get in and out of the car.

As others have said I regularly condition the leather seats.. not so much the back seats but I still get to them once and awhile. They look pretty close to new so I have no complaints.

I've used Connolly Hide Care, Zaino Z9/Z10, Lexol and Leatherique. I find that Leatherique Rejuvinator Oil (let it soak for a bit) with a wipedown of Leatherquie Pristine Clean works best.

I like leatherique the best in all my cars. As long as you let the rejuvinator oil soak in for a while (optimal if car is left in the sun).
White leather looks fantastic but just shows too many imperfections over time and tends to slightly yellow too I found. I have never had red leather before so think I may try it one day.
