Default Highly Reccomend this for the SLK leather cleaning and conditioning.

Meguiers Gold Class Leather Cleaner & Conditioner
here is the link to the product http://shop.ivalueinternet.com/washt...duct_id/33.htm

Ive used this on the SLK and Cayenne S recently and found out that it really works perfectly, the instructions for usage are easy and brief.

First of all you get a soft cloth and swipe in a rotated direction, This helped me remove stains from Denim Jeans on the Cayenne S since it has a Light Sand beige interior and geats easily stained and dirty, However I also found out this could cure or cause the SLK's nappa leather to stay red and black all the time without going dull or dry with the heat or with storage, Its winter now and quiet cold at night, I usually use this product every 3 months to condition the leather so it can be durable.

I hope you find this thread very useful, I will get pictures of the interior by tommorow its night time here and If I took pictures it wont look as good as daylight.

"This luxurious one-step treatment safely cleans and protects all types of leather and leaves the surface rich and natural…without changing the look or feel. Mild cleaners provide safe cleaning action without stripping nutrients and protection. Special oils moisturize and condition the leather so it remains rich and supple. Gold Class is totally pH balanced and leaves no artificial slickness''.

I think this product is a great alternative and saves cost compared to taking the SLK and Cayenne S to a interior detailer that costs $200-250 dollars to have the interior detailed or conditioned.

Just checked their products, they have a vast variety of products, might try their swirl remover.

I have some meguiars in the garage, but I'd rather use Leatherique or Lexol.

After posting my last reply, I went to the car to get something and noticed that my dark jeans that I wore today had left their mark on the beige seats.

I went to work with a woolite/water solution and think I got most of it out. I'll have to wait for some sunlight tomorrow to see if there are any marks left.

Where do you buy this great product in Canada? I looked for it on the Canadian Tyre website but I couldn't find it.

And when you say the smell is something else, do you mean:

a. It is so good you wish your wife used it as perfume?
b. It is so strong you should only use it before storing your car for winter?
c. It is so bad you can use it around your house as skunk repellent?

Zaino you can get at http://www.zaino.ca

As for the smell, well it's good enough that I can smear some under my nose as I sit in a long cold Canadian winter night making "vrrooommmm vrrooooommmm" noises dreaming of cruising top down again come spring...with enough rum I can almost imagine it's the real thing!

Thank you all for the advice. Now I know I can buy the Z10 for 18,95$ from Zaino Canada. That's cool. My car will look and smell showroom-new next spring!
