Hadn’t done a good clean in a while, as we ve been 3 weeks now in quarantine thought this is the best time to do it! Started with interior, clean, Hoover leather shampoo, leather balm, then washed outside, clay barred, polish and wax this morning. Now ready for the rain to come back!

Looks great - not sure if treating the leather is ideal - apparently there are special coatings on the leather including, anti UV coatings.

I think you’re right. Regarding maintaining newer leather seats in good condition, I’ve read that conditioners don’t do much. What’s important is just to clean very often, as dirt particles will abrade and break down the protective coatings.
I literally never used any leather product on any SL R231 due to the UV coating. Just use water with a cotton towel (no microfibers!). Here is our last SL after nearly 3 years and 22k miles...
Only the seatbelts got dirty and if bothersome can be replaced cheaply...

I have the Porcelain/Black scheme myself and would love to replace my slightly dingy white seat belts. I've seen references to being able to do it "cheaply" but that's a relative term. :-) Does anyone know an actual ballpark figure?

I think you were checking on that a while back when Iridium discussed the same issue. If the belts can be purchased standalone, I am thinking $200-300 for the pair. There are 3rd party shops which will replace the belts for $75 a piece. Something like this: https://seatbeltrestore.com/webbing-...ng-replacement
Personally I prefer OEM. Just call the dealer with your VIN and they'll give you a price. Good luck!
I was just going to play with the new audio system in the garage, but Gruff shot past me when I opened the door and sat in the passenger seat waiting for me to take him for a ride.
