Cleaning Mercedes Artico Man-Made 'Leather'

[anonymous-user]

Have posted up in the Merc forum with no joy, but I think that only the seat centre facings and back section on my 2008 E Class are real leather, I've a feeling the bolsters and side sections are Mercedes man made Artico, question is - what do I clean those sections with, normal leather cleaner, and do they still need conditioned?

I'm reluctant to go into my local dealer to ask as they are clueless, and will no doubt just sell me some overpriced tat that probably has a better, cheaper alternative elsewhere!

Thanks!

Most leathers can be cleaned with a decent leather cleaner and it will not harm vinyl or leather substitutes. No need to condition leather these days, just add some protection after cleaning. Good leather cleaners include LTT Solutions and Croft, or Gliptone.

Cheers, will get on the gliptone website and get some products ordered then!
