Unhappy Cleaning Artico Leather

I have Alpaca Gray Artico Leather in my 2008 ML350, . Soils easily and somehow if you're always wearing jeans, it will somewhat become bluish in color after a few months. I have this ML since November and still looking for the best way to clean it. I went to the dealership & they sold me the MB interior cleaner 16 fl oz for $19.95 + taxes (this is somewhat expensive I think). I noticed that it was made by Maguire's for MB. I think you can get a Maguire brand directly from Wal-Mart for cheaper. I'm still not satisfied as the bluish color is still there. Any suggestions?

Do you have some WHITE pairs of expensive jeans ? Do not wear Wal-Mart jeans on MBZ man.....
Just kidding. In fact Maguire stuffs are the same, and cheaper. Also, for MB all-season floor mats, floor liners.... are made by MacNeil and you can buy directly from their website much cheaper than at the stealers....

Thanks for your reply. I usually want to wear jeans - I feel more sporty and young and I don't buy my jeans from Wal-Mart! . Kidding aside, do you have a solution for my situation ? Maguire's is ok but it doesn't fully clean it.

To the best of my knowledge:........no solution. I think you should consult with your local upholstery leather shops. Good luck and be careful from now on with jeans.

I just today cleaned my ML's beige vinyl seats with ZEP Autocare Stain-Lifting Carpet & Seat Cleaner. If I remember right, I bought it in Home Depot with some bucks.
