Stone interior maintenance?
Well after many searches, test drives, and whatnot, I'm going to be assuming a lease that my folks dont drive at all. 2004 CLK320 Black on Stone, Lighting Package, Heated Seats, Sunroof Package, and I believe Sport Package. Gorgeous car, absolutley love it. Should be in my hands by the end of the week, beginning of next. Still need to get paperwork to sub-lease, wahtever, insurance, all that technical crap.
My only concern really is the interior of the car. I know its delicate and my mom has warned me that my jeans, clothes, etc, might rub off on the leather and damage/discolor it. Does anybody know if this is true, and if so, how to to prevent it? I'm thinking scotchguard would help. Last thing I wanna do is put some fugly seat covers on em. Thanks in advance. I'll be posting pics soon.
BTW, I know im gonnna get the STTF response, but what size rims are best without sacrificing ride quality, smoothness, all that. I'm looking at 19"s, maybe 20"s. Again, thanks in advance.

If you're looking for ride quality, you're better off sticking with 18's. 19's will fit (may require spacers). A few people have 20's, but that may require more work & will not result in a soft ride.
Good luck with the car, sounds nicely optioned to begin with.
