Why do the interior materials like leather seats and wood trims in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class deteriorate quickly in Pakistan’s climate?

Owners often notice fading, cracking, o r peeling of leather seats and wood trim panels. This issue is aggravated by Pakistan’s harsh sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity, which accelerate wear and reduce the longevity of interior materials if not properly cared for.

Interior material deterioration happens due to:

Harsh Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to strong UV rays causes leather to fade, dry out, and crack, and wood trims to lose their finish.

High Temperatures: Extreme heat accelerates the breakdown of leather oils and adhesives in trims.

Humidity: Moisture in the air can cause swelling, peeling, o r mold growth, especially if the car is not ventilated properly.

Lack of Protection: Not using sunshades, seat covers, o r protective conditioners speeds up wear.

Dust and Dirt: Fine particles can abrade surfaces over time.

Regular cleaning, using high-quality conditioners, parking in shaded areas, and applying protective films help preserve the interior.
