Thank you sir

I am always hesitant to do anything major with the seats, but my cleaning routine for them is:
-LIGHTLY vacuum clean with a brissled nozzle...do NOT use a striaght plastic tube or you WILL RISK leaving lines that you can't really take out with rubbing the fabric over and over.
-Barely damp microfiber wipedown, again gently.

I never have stains on my seats, but used Folex and water sprayed onto a microfiber and wideped gently again.

There is also such a tool called a suede brush, I do not have one, but may plan on getting one eventually since I will have alot of suede re-upholstering going on in my interior .

Hope this helps.

That's essentially what in do, too, but I don't dampen the MF cloth.

I have one, but I wouldn't recommend using it on Alcantara. Though, it works very well on suede.

 

I'm just going to wait until mine are completely beat and recover them in naugahyde, drill some drain holes in the floor and wash my car out with a hose.

 

suede is the black part of the seats, the alacantra is the blue part. i would recommend turtle wax brand cleaner called solid oxy guard. red spray bottle with a foam that when it hits, it starts to clean after a second start scrubbing with the top of the bottle and then whip off. it helped me get a month old cream sauce outa the back seat, where my friends girl accidentally driped it on.

 

the blue part is not alcantara. its just some mesh ****.

the suede type material is probably a microfiber thats been kinda made to look like alcantara, or its really alcantara, either way, the care should be similar.

 

Thanks Mitch, and thanks to everyone who chimed in, i'll definetly start the cleaning with all the recommendations..
