GLE 43
Thumbs up Leather Care

Hi,

I just purchased a GLE 43 last month with the 211 Black Leather interior. There are leather surfaces on the seats and U09 MB-Tex on the dash and door trims. I am looking for some tips on what to use and how to maintain the interior to prevent it from cracking/discoloring over time. Many of the older Mercedes I have seen have discoloration across the dash. How often should I do any cleaning/conditioning with leather products and should I use the same on the MB-Tex surfaces?

Thanks!!
