Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased an E220 Year 2012 (Avantgarde Spec). Its in pretty good condition inside and out. My E220 has beige leather seats. From reading online i think they are nappa seat (not sure)?

I am looking for advice on which seat cleaning products are good to use on them and the interior leather door trim? I have read that Gliptone GT12 cleaner is supposed to be good?

Any advice and opinions on this would be much appreciated?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi and welcome. First thing is to definitively identify if they are leather.
You can do this by entering your VIN into a decoder (free for Android and IOS) and looking at the codes and description.
If it's not leather (Artico for example) there's no point in using Gliptone on them as it won't do any good at all.

Thanks Lost Kiwi, worked out the code is 205A Beige leather. I'd say its safe enough to use the gliptone but going to do abit more research on the code.
