can't you just google search alcantara cleaners and read reviews..let me know if Sonax pops up

A vacuum and a brush should be plenty.

@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.

Kudos to mike, I always wonder how to take care of the seat. Never knew it was in the instruction booklet! :bonk:

Ive been using armor all to clear the interior of my car (cleaning wipes) and also the armor all glass wipes (which work pretty well)

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).

JPM Coachworks recommends the Sonax alcantara cleaner: http://amzn.to/28Nv8wo

Another vote for the Sonax. Great stuff, works very well, smells good.
