In case anyone was wondering how interior holds up.

Hi all.

Today I was cleaning the big car getting her ready for a car show and it dawned upon me to take some pictures of the seats to show wear and tear with 66 thousand miles on the car.

We twice a year use leather lube stuff on the leather but aside from that we just keep everything clean. The pictures are the drivers seat and the rear drivers side seat that virtually nobody has sat in. I myself cannot tell any difference






drivers seat

rear seat

We use Black Label, 8 fifty. Hubby gets it off Amazon if I recall. There’s two he has, cleaner and conditioner. The conditioner is what we use most. I like the smell it has after your done.

Please note i am certainly not promoting the product in any way but to answer the question, I’m sure there’s lots of good stuff out there.

Katie, Do you apply the Black Label on the bolsters (only) and not to the perforated panels ? Looks great BTW and thanks for posting. T

I put the stuff on everything leather it does not appear to clog the holes as long as you use a non micro fiber cloth. Even did the headliner yesterday. I was busy.

I should have said my car my car has the disinio interior. Thinking it’s Napa leather which might make a difference in longevity but crap ALL the s class cars are special so I have to assume they are using good leather in any capacity.

Katie it looks like your car has the semi-aniline which is the top of the line.

Semi-Aniline>Designo Extended Nappa Leather>Nappa Leather>Leather

Nonetheless it looks amazing good job cleaning and conditioning it.

Thanks for sharing ,nice to see a testimony for it .I think material itself is very tough and made of nothing but high quality stuff otherwise ,I think, regardless of those leather conditioners we could see cracked ,wrinkled paled surfaces
Happy Driving
