We bought a 2020 E450 cab with the almond leather interior. We bought the car from a dealer in the south and had it delivered to Atlanta. When it arrived my wife said the steering wheel was sticky. I got a wet cloth and started wiping it off, just water. As soon as I started, the color started coming off. It seems like the dealer pulled a fast one on us. I am not sure what recourse I have with them. Is it possible to re dye it myself. What ever they used felt like some cheap cover up.
Looks to me like they tried to cover up or clean some heavy wear. I have that color on my 2018 E400. I bought this leather dye online: https://store.paintbull.com/product/...to-beige-4-oz/
and used it on the seat bolsters, 4 or 5 very light coats with a folded paper towel and drying with a hair dryer in between coats. You can use it on the wear I see on your seats in your pictures but use very light coats so you don't fill the holes. I would also use a water based cleaner like Simple Green to get all of that debris off the steering wheel before I started.
I didn't need to use the dye on the steering wheel but it seems to be wearing well on my seats since I used it 3 months ago. I did have some paint chips on the inside of my steering wheel. I touched them up with some almond colored appliance paint and then used this leather dye over the painted area to get an exact match to the MB color. It worked very well. I can't even find the paint chips now.
Good luck.
Being a 2020 it’s under warranty still. See if they will replace the steering wheel as that is premature wear and tear. No reason a 2020 MB should do that. A 2002 Mb sure.
