CLK 320 CAB 2000
Leather Care
Hi all,
New here, so hi to all!
Have Just purchased a 2000 CLK 320 Cab, with a very dirty interior! The beige leather interior, especially the seats are filthy, with dirt trapped in the grian of the leather. Have tried to remove it with several products, but the only way it comes off is with some serious scubbing which i think might damage the leather! Have you guys got any ideas of good products or tricks for cleaning the seats???
Have attacked a pic, note i have removed the chrome wheel arches since purchased, didnt like them!

Adrian - Welcome to the world's formost MB forum.
Great to see a CLK on the Rock of Europe! Can you see the African coast from your parking lot?
I personally do not like the chrome touches either, but unfortunately the penddlum is swinging the other way and MB is adding chrome accents to it's latest models.
I have been using LEXOL products on all of my leathers.

Thanks for the reply!!
Africa is actually to the right of the photo, in the horizon is Ceuta, but its to hazy to be seen, its about 18 miles from where the car is! Will post more pic when i get some.
Have also replaced the alloys with the evolutions off the c class coupe, shall post photos soon.

Welcome to the boards and congrats on the ride. Just one thing, it looks like that is a '99 because of the lack of the built-in blinkers on the mirrors. 
I'm not sure if the Cab's took a year to catch up or not so don't quote me on that. Maybe someone else can comment.

congrats on the new ride... it looks beautiful.
I use Zaino leather cleaner... then apply some Zaino leather conditioner...
if you have time, check out the detailing section on this forum... they have some real good advice columns there for keeping your Benzo prestine looking...
its just a shame that not everyone keeps their ride looking spotless...
