Hi everyone
My W223 is black outside on light cream inside
The leather can stain quite easily
Been offered by dealership for $799 - 60 months coverage for internal / external
Just wondering - if ANYONE has ever SUCESSFULLY received a RESISTALL claim due due to small tear, hard stain?
While I can see the benefit of this "leather seat protection" - I can imagine they deny most claims.
Any eperiences from anyone here?

It's better to do a ceramic on the full interior, and it's backed by the company that does it.
Yeah, I've got the same cream interior, and my car wash shop has been nagging me to try their interior coating for a long time, citing that light-coloured leather stains easily.
I don't buy it. I send my car in for cleaning pretty much every week, so I'm sure any stain will not have a chance to permanently settle.
I also don't like the 'high-gloss' look of ceramic coats on leather. See this pic:
Tears, though, are a different story. No ceramic coating will protect against hard object protrusions.
I had the ceramic on the interior and the leather is not shiny, looks the same. I'm getting much less fingerprints and smudging on the cheap looking black plastic in the center but I'm thinking it won't do much of anything to stop scratches.

How long have you had the coating on your leathers?
I'm curios as to how they interact with seat cooling. Wouldn't the coating block (at least some of) the vent holes in the seats?
No, it's very light; not like the creamy stuff they used to apply. I can't make any assessment of how well it works or if the appearance will change over time because it's too new. It helped on the center console as I described above but that's about the only conclusion I have for now.
The stuff is watery gents, it's not going to clog anything. There is no visible residue or sign that it is there at all. I'd consider hitting youtube and scoping some recent videos on it if you're skeptical. People love their ventilated seats, if the stuff was clogging the holes you wouldn't need to ask here, you would have already read about it.

1) If the stuff is “watery” how effective could it be?
2) That watery stuff must go somewhere in the seat perforations.
You don't bust out a 55 gallon drum and spray the seats with a fire hose. Watch the videos if you're concerned and I think you'll come to the understanding that you're not going to clog holes with it. As to effectiveness, I can say nothing at all; I've less than a thousand miles on the treatment. It didn't look like it could hurt and I thought I would give it a try. In time I may have a conclusion but at the moment all I can say is the holes aren't clogged and the seats aren't shiny. I'm sorry man, it's all I've got for now.
