I've been using a product called Leatherique. It is by far the best product I have ever (And I have used several of them) used on leather and vinyl.

The webpage is :

Looks like good stuff. But which of their products do you use? There's a bunch.

I use the "Pristine Clean" for normal maintenance. And 2 times a year (before Summer and before Winer) I use the "Rejuvenator Oil" .

We really don't .. Our Summer is when the weather is over 90 degrees, and our winter is when the weather is under 70 degrees.

I was turned on to Leatherique by another Mercedes owner. He kept telling me how good this stuff was. I had never heard of the, before so I was a little skeptical, but went ahead and ordered. I will never use anything else now. Leatheriques products are amazing. A bit pricey, but if you want the best, they are the best !

Ask about their "Mercedes Owner Discount" program thorough the Mercedes Benz Club..

Adam, your CL has the "real" leather interior. Some of the less expensive benzes have vinyl side bolsters and leather seating inserts(like mine). This leather(I have) is the "top coat" or "clear coated" leather. Much differerent than what you have. Is leatherique good on vinyl and top coated leather, or should I just get some lexol?

Thanks man.

David, excellent question !

Leatherique states that their products work equally well on Leather as well as MB Tex.. So, the answer is yes, Leatherique should work great ! This is a guess on my part as I have never used it on MB-Tex, but it it works like it does on leather, it's amazing stuff.

No high glass, no greasy residue, great leather smell, easy to apply/remove ...
