Appearance Protection Program
The dealer is trying to sell me something they call the Appearance Protection Program which costs $795 and includes:
1. Paint guard protects paint against oxidation and fading.
2. Fiber guard protects carpet and fabric against staining.
3. Leather guard protects against drying, fading, and aging.
Albeit the program is way over priced
but brought up an intresting point, it would not be a bad idea to stain guard the carpet and pleather. Has anyone treated their interior (carpets/seats/etc) with a teflon based treatment or similar treatment?

I have this on my car. Great improvement on the paint and the interior. It cost me $500 first time and then $200 each year for keeping the protection intact. This is not done by Mercedes. It's a private company providing this job.

Your car will be protected, but it's a huge profit maker for the dealer. They'll love you. Otherwise, I would do it myself. Plus, noone will be careful with your car like you.
