Can't say if Nappa is much different but I asked MBUSA about my GLS580 leather (no Nappa option) and here is what I got. Some is not clear to me still.
Response from MBUSAThank you for your email to Mercedes-Benz USA.

If the 2021 GLS580 comes as standard with Leather, please see below for the areas that are leather (remaining areas are MB Tex). Should there be any questions in regards to vehicle configuration, or vehicle options, a sales consultant can assist from your local Mercedes-Benz dealership.

- Seat panel+side bolsters (cushion+backrest)
- Outer side bolsters+floors (cushion+backrest) and Center rail (cushion) 2nd seat row
- Rear center rail upper/lower
- Upholstery bar
- Cover, rear backrest filler upper part and lower part
- Complete head restraint cover
- Cover and loop armrest folding highlock
- Armrest rear seat folding cover, armrest cover and loop outside
- Armrest 2nd seat row with 6-seater cover and loop

When ordering option U38:
- The upper beltline in leather Nappa
- Door center panel in leather Nappa
- Upper and lower part of the instrument panel in leather Nappa

The steering wheel is also leather Nappa in the GLS (L3B and L3D options)

We hope this information is helpful, and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Thanks, I’m hoping someone has something similar for the 2017 X166 GLS AMG.

Taking care of all the materials in your car is essential for a polished look. For Nappa leather seats, Von Baer has some fantastic conditioning products that could work wonders for keeping them supple and luxurious.

When it comes to the dash and doors, it's often a mix of materials like soft-touch plastics, vinyl, or leatherette. For those surfaces, products like Aerospace 303 or Meguiar's Ultimate Interior Detailer are great options. They're gentle, non-greasy, and work well on various interior materials.
