Guys,

My seats are covered with something that looks like leather but I'm sure it is. Its not as soft as the leather seats I had in my previous cars.

What is this fabric and how to clean and protect it?

I have a 99 C43
Thanks for your input

I use Lexol to clean my leather. Step one is a leather cleaner and step two is the leather conditioner. Best stuff out there....

I used Leatherique to great effect on my 10 year old tahoe (it has a custom all leather interior, not the stock vinyl)

if it's a C43, it prolly leather.

The lower models came with something called leatherette which is fake leather essentially.
