Cleaning the wool fabric is not going to be easy. You can use the carpet/fabric cleaners, I use the Prestone Carpet/Fabric cleaner with a brush on top and it's worked well for me. If it's beyond help, places like katzkin leather can sell you a complete new interior in custom colors and combinations that would make your car feel new again. That was my long term plan when I had my 2002 C-Coupe but ended up with a sedan instead.

Have the seats professionally cleaned by a carpet cleaning truck. It will cost you $50-75 and they will do your carpets and mats also. That will make a major difference.

I have the same issue and my solution after all this cleaning is going to be MB Tex!

No.....well not without wrecking the seat and needing to purchase new professionally fitted covers. None of this expensive would be worth it on a base model C230.

Let this be a lesson. Never ever order or purchase a car with a fabric or micro-fiber or suede. They are all terrible choices for vehicle seating surfaces.
