motorman3 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hello, I kindly want assistance from an individual with expertise in this area. Could someone help provide me with information on whether this material is genuine leather or the synthetic alternative known as Artico fake leather? The presence of a ruffled door card does not provide definitive evidence, since there have been reports of individuals with Artico material who have also had this issue. The vehicle in question is a 2007 E220d Avantgarde model. Was genuine leather included as a basic feature on the products? I would want to express my gratitude to all those involved.

motorman3 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Thank you for your response. Is genuine leather a regular feature in avant-garde designs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueWING007 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Does the scent like that of leather? Based on my analysis, the most plausible candidate for the given scenario would be Artico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicebubby8 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 The 2007 E220 Elegance model is equipped with Artico upholstery. It is believed that the 'Avantgardes' were not equipped with genuine leather as a standard feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorman3 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Based on visual and olfactory cues alone, I am unable to discern the appropriate course of action, namely whether or not to apply leather conditioner to the item in question.

motorman3 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Presented below is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) report. Is the material of the item in question made of leather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1too Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 By inputting the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the website www.lastvin.com, users may get precise information on the kind of leather used in the vehicle. The data card generated provides a comprehensive inventory of all original equipment options installed at the factory for the specific vehicle identification number (VIN) input. Apologies for the oversight, I have now come across your new postings. The material used in the production of item 821 is authentic leather.

Ken_Lion Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Even genuine leather is dyed or coated with vinyl paint. The use of leather conditioner may not effectively condition the leather and may potentially exacerbate the accumulation of filth, leading to accelerated wear and tear of the material.

motorman3 Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Thank you for providing me with this information. What is the most effective method for cleaning it? It is often believed that leather requires regular application of a leather conditioner in order to maintain its quality and durability.

SD1too Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I acquired an authentic sales brochure for the W211 E-Class model from a fellow member of an online forum during my diligent pursuit of obtaining a W211 vehicle. I ultimately acquired the W212 model as a result of limited availability of satisfactory automobile options throughout the period spanning from mid-2019 to early 2020. The following compilation presents an exhaustive list of available leather alternatives along with their respective codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Lion Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Moisten a cloth with a solution of mild soap. The use of vinyl paint on leather creates a seal that impedes the absorption of feed into the leather. The accumulation of dirt and grit inside the creases of the leather might lead to potential harm over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1too Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I use a very diluted alkaline peroxide cleaner (APC). The Aldi blue all-purpose cleaner (APC) is diluted with water at a minimum ratio of 1:10. This diluted solution is then sprayed onto a microfiber cloth, which is then used to wipe off the desired surfaces. I have not need a more potent substance than the one mentioned, even when dealing with very soiled leather surfaces. Subsequently, I proceed to cleanse the surface with a distinct microfiber cloth that has been moistened just with clean water. I am uncertain about the ethical implications of this practice, but it effectively maintains the cleanliness of my leather material. There are more effective treatment methods for altering the visual, tactile, and sensory qualities of leather subsequent to its cleaning process.
