oh Tcoat, you just need to use some genuine Saskatchewan Beaver Pelt Cleaning Mitts.

Wonderful Canadian product.

Is the one piece trim from the new cars available for purchase?

I asked my parts department, and they are unable to order the part yet. Might be another couple of weeks before they can.

The "Grand Luxe" stuff Toyota is using in the new 86 may actually be better than Alcantara since it's likely a newer product. Who knows?

Yeah, Alcantara is a type of suede. People just think Suede is bad, Alcantara is good. They are just different types that need different types of treatment. Alcantara is just a proven fabric that works the best for most of automotive and marine uses hence all the high end car makers use them on their high end models.

I run a company similar to JPM Coachworks (closing in 3 days btw) in LA. So I'm always super curious about interior stuff. Sat in a new 86 and felt the fabric on the dash, it's very similar to Alcantara, I thought it was Alcantara guess they are different and have a different name too. Interesting.

That picture in the first page makes it look like it's more of suede than Alcantara.

hahaha yeah just need to know exactly since customers ask me questions like this all the time. haha

I'm probably going to order the same fabric since people will start asking to match it on other pieces.
