How do I best clean Alcantara leather seats?
 
Hey guys,

I know that there are a bunch of clean freaks here, and after taking ownership of my BRZ, I found a new pride in taking care of her. Unfortunately, the other day I noticed that the previous owner had left a stain, which looks like it might have been coffee, and would like to get rid of it as safely as possible.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to what type of brush or rag/product I should use? I plan on cleaning her thoroughly again this weekend.

Thanks for any info you can provide

The leather part or the alcantara part?

Diluted lemon juice for alcantara.

use woolite 15:1 and a microfiber. Have a rinse cloth, well rung out to wipe off any residue.

this stuff is not leather, but more like a microfiber material.

Unless you are very confident with steam dont do it, you can "melt" the fibers.

Cheers,
GREG
