07 leather stained

I have an 07 E Saks Fifth Ave Edtion. It has white leather. My wife often wears dark colored jeans and has stained the white leather drivers seat with her jeans. After 1.5 years of ownership the beautiful white leather looks horrible. Any tips? I am also concerened about what MB leasing will have to say about the seat.

I would think if they are brilliant enough to build a friggin car with white leather in it, they are open to the fact that its gonna get dirty..

Do you happen to have any pics of what the seats look like? I LOVE that color combination and have considered on with Sahara interior. I assume your car's interior is Sahara?

I will see if I can get photos. Part of this dirty interior is our fault. It not only looks stained, but the seats are also dirty in the back. I have two small children 8 and 4. I would not recommend this white leather if you have kids.

E55 or CL600, if I could make up my mind

Picked up a bunch of Meguiar's cleaning supplies from a sale at Big Lots (not sure if they still have those), and had great results with the Leather Wipes on the very light beige seats in my Navi.

"Wiping" doesn't do much, though, more like "rubbing like hell until your arm falls off".

LOL! That is funny! I guess we should get back to talking about stained seats instead of Russian mail order brides and the fat kids. LOL!

I think we should start a post just for posting pictures of wives. Everyone here is driving a MB the wives had better be pretty hot or why not put them in a Hyundai.

O.K. here is my wife, sorry about the hairy gorilla in the photo (yeah its me). The MB is hers and I drive junk! She was my girl long before I had a real job or made good money. True pimps have no cash and true love doesn't care what you drive!
