How do you clean your faux suede seats??

[Pete's 03]

Like the title says, I was just wondering if anyone knows a good way to clean the fake suede stuff on the center sections of my seats in my 03 Cobra. They are the lighter shade of gray and have never been cleaned. I never drive the car with nasty pants on because of the seats, but I can tell that the drivers side is starting to show some signs of dirt as it's not quite the same shade as the passenger side seat any longer. I posted this in the show and shine section too, but added it here as last time I got a lot more responses in this section. Any help would be appreciated!!

Use Tuff Stuff , its a spray foam !

You can get it at auto zone or walmart.

Will take care of dirt , tar, and most anyting else with no damage to your seats !

Do not use anything but Woolite mixed 7 parts water to 1 part Woolite. Seats are not fake suede they are Alcantra and are used in Mercedes,BMW and other high end cars.Using a spray bottle, spray seat, wipe with a damp cotton towel.Then use another dry towel pat dry. Used this method on my Cobra for 7 years and seats look like new.

+1 on the wool light. If you go to the Alcantra website or the cobrabob website you can get the official manufactures cleaning instructions. If I remember right I think its just water.

Woolight for the win! Use a white towel when you do it. You'll be surprized at how dirty they really are.
