all weather mats are soo damn ugly lol. They get that super dirty look in no time. I have of grooved oem all weather mats in the S550 and it's horrible. Looked super dirty all the damn time. I finally removed them and used the OEM carpet, much better. I know this all weather is not by weather tech.

I have the actual OEM MB weathertech mat for the ML550 and these are actually much better after some prep work. I used the Tuf Shine Tire Appearance Kit on the mats lol. It's rubber, should work the same and it definitely did. It kept the mats looking shiny but not overly shiny, a little on the matte side for that clean look instead of that dirty white dusty look after a while [Link]

I think I'll get the oem weathertech for the X5 whenever it comes because it looks good and I kind of need the durability.

If you don't need that much durability, you can always try Fabric Guard [Link] The liquid literally just sits on top of the carpet. I once left overnight food in the car without realizing and to make matters worse, it was dripping all over the carpet. Luckily I had used scotch guard so the next morning, the sauce was just sitting on top of the carpet and not soaked IN the carpet.
