@Bxkid_GT86 .......... maybe add a little warm water on a microfiber towel if necessary.

Did you read the Owner's Manual? Because my BRZ came with instructions on how to care for the seats.

too greasy for my taste...makes everything shine like it's covered in baby oil and definitely don't want to apply it to alcantara

Oh, I would never apply that to alcantara, I meant for the dashboard/cupholders/door panels (I kick the shit out of it getting in).
