Cleaning your suede seats...

Does anyone have recommendations or tips for cleaning our suede seats? I work at an oil shoppe and accidently forgot and sat in my seats with my work pants on, now the seats are all flat and shiny as well as the arm rest top.

Do you guys use a special product to restore its conditions back in such cases?

Thanks...

I believe they are called Alcantara simulated suede...

Whatever product you use make sure it is not strong, and if its a liquid cleaner or degreaser, dilute it. Most importantly though, don't use any course brushes.
