i think no type of cleaning will help my seats.

i have a w211 ,light grey vented leather.

i have heard people finding a very close matching spray can. all they do is take out seats and spray them..

Leather pigment restoration – kits available that allows you to recolor worn and faded leather easily. The colour coat provided is a water- based material, colour matched, that is designed to be highly compatible with leather, and provides a long lasting finish – Leather Magic http://leathermagicpro.com

Have you tried Leatherique? The best leather cleaner and conditioner made. They also carry MB dyes, not paint, complete with restoration instructions if that's what you need. George, the owner/creator of Leatherique will even take your call to discuss your situation. Post some pix. Good Luck

+1 for Leatherique. I just don't think that the spray-on coloring will last.
