Need to do a full interior detail on the carpets, seats, dash, soft top interior.

Is there a suggested product that does a deep clean without being to harsh and damaging the interior long term?

Also, what is a good after clean moisturizer for the seats and dash?

Lots of choices and in my opinion trial and error as well as personal preference plays a large part . I’ve settled on Giriots after trying many others for leather care. Leather Care Spray and Education Leather Care They sell other car care products too.Exterior work in steps 1st clay bar, then compound for swirl and scratch marks and finally waxing. I like MaxShine Detailing clay bar although Mother’s is good too. For fine scratches and swirl marks I use McGuire’s Ultimate Compound. I use Mcquiars Gold Classic carnauba for the final waxing stage but am going to try Fusso Soft99 12 month wax for light cars. I’ve used Chemical Guys for carpet cleaning but to be honest, I’ve been disappointed in results but I then again I have a beige interior and I probably need new carpeting after 42 years !!! Good luck.

Back again….you might find an interest in these sites. These were my initial reference points plus sources for new and used parts OEM, NOS and aftermarket. A good source for newbies mercedessource - Google Search and another by the same man https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=Mercedessource. From another new owner journaling his restoration

and another site on restoration though the English accent can be challenging at times https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=mikes+mercs. I have found many solid sources for quality parts but too many to list. Good luck!!!

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant on the seats and inside of the soft top cover. For the hard panels I use Meguiar's Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner with a Dremel Versa.
