Morning all,

Hopefully someone can help. I have an old SLC where the sun visors and leather behind are stained.

Can somebody point me in the direction of the product that I need?

I've used and can recommend Gliptone: https://www.liquidleather.co.uk

Are these parts actually real leather?

Doubtful, Mercedes leather is fake at the best of times!

Tend to agree about the use of Gliptone versus something like Vinylkote in this instance. Not forgetting that Vinylkote also claims to be good for use on leather anyway and is also available as an aerosol. Painting a test area first would be the way to go.

Vinylkote

They certainly feel like they are. I just need to work out what my colour code is!

If you send a sample to Gliptone they will colour match it.

Probably a daft thought but that does look rather like a damp stain so could there be a breach in the windscreen seal at all?

Gliptone stuff is great but I doubt it would do that. You almost need to re-dye it

Their leather dye will do it.
