Best Cleaning Method for Interior
Hey guys I notice our babies get a lot of scuff marks on the interior on the dash and doors the rubbery material in our cars. What is the best method of keeping these clean?

Your MB dealer shoulda given you a microfiber towel. If not, get one which is kinda like a silk towel, i.e. it won't leave fluff if you rub it over the surface of the interio material. It should be soft, and you need to wet the towel a little bit, then rub it back and forth on the part where the scuff mark appears.
I find the easiest way to do this, is to actually go buy a bottle of spray-on water from a hygiene/drug store. This is extremely clean water, and you can spray it on the portion of the interio that has the scuff mark, and then just scrub that area with the towel.
Voila, no scuff marks remain.

Has been covered before, with numerous opinions (try a search).
I just follow the directions from MB (i.e. like Shini's response). Only difference when the marks are skin/oils, I use a FEW drops of dishwasher detergent on the cloth, then thoroughly wet and wring the cloth first.
Just a note of the supplied MB cloth. It is a superfine microfiber and will not lint (this is good). However, they made the mistake of not hemming it around the cut edges. You will get white microfiber "threads" for a while.
2 solutions: wash it (washing machine) numerous times; And/or fold it up before use, so that the edges are all inside the folded cloth.
