White nasty halos on AMG seats

Hi,
I'm very satisfied of our E wagon but I'm having troubles with the dinamic fibre of the AMG seats: a few weeks ago I left the panorama roof opened and suddenly it started a heavy rain,I immediately closed the roof and the rear windows but the seats took a lot of water

So during these early cold days of september I realized that awful and disgusting white spots came up on every single seat...has that ever happened to anybody else? I dunno how to work on it,obviously I'm going to the dealer but if anyone knows how to remove those nasty spots or had the same experience...just give me a knock

(Later I'm gonna post some pics)

Usually for water stains you need to use something acidic. Around the house, we use white vinegar. Not sure if that is safe for leather though. I would check with a detail shop.

I assume since you mention AMG you are talking about the softer nappa leather. Or do you have something else?

Nope,I'm talking of the AMG line sport seats (artic leather + microfiber)

part of the AMG interior/exterior pack.
Here are some pics,never seen something similar before...

Is disgusting isn't it?

The water bottle in your photo just adds to the overall feel. That alcantara will probably clean right up with the right product, but I have no idea what that may be. Seems like you have activated the salts or other products in the fabric itself with all of that water and they have presented themselves in an uninspiring way. bummer

Yeah that would **** me off as well. It seems like a easy fix for a detailing spot though. Good luck

Yeah that looks bad but should clean up good. You could find some solutions online.
