Does anyone know or recommend a product that should be used to clean the suede seats in the SRT6?

 

Use a 8 to 1 mix of water to Woolite in a spray bottlle. Spray seat , rub litely with a damp cloth, use another damp cloth to wipe seat again.I have used this on my Cobra s Alcantra seats for 5 years and works great. Seats look like new.

 

Thanks a bunch!!

 

I use a product called Dry Clean by Blue Coral. You can get it at auto parts stores. You spray it on (foam), let it sit or massage it gently into the fabric, let it dry, and then vacuum or wipe clean. I've used this product on all my cars' cloth surfaces for over 15 years. It works awesome! I used it on my Xfire headliner too!!

 

i always place shirts over the bottoms of the seat,
kinda keeps them looking new
and if i go to a rod run ,gtg, car show i take them off.
red neck seat covers if ya will

 

Found this info online:

Ultra suede (Escaine, Alacantra®):
Is a 100% Polyester man-made suede substitute, which should be cleaned by brushing the nap with a soft nylon upholstery brush, remove pilling with a single-sided razor blade and then applying a cleaning solution (Water /Woolite® or Dreft® with a ratio of 5:1 or stronger) on to an applicator pad and apply to one area at a time (do not over-wet the fabric) and do not use steam.

Localized stains can be treated with a d-limonene (citrus) based cleaner (P21S Total Auto Wash) ensure surface is dry before use by leaving window cracked/open or SONAX NTS7 Upholstery Cleaner for BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz Alcantara materials. Do not use steam, alcohol or strong solvents.

Interestingly enough, a couple of months ago, I was in one of those stores that sells everything for a $1. I took a look at the stuff in the car care section, not expecting to find anything decent. However, they had lots of the Sonax NTS7 products (wax, interior cleaner, upholstery cleaner (for Alacantra), window cleaner, and car wash concentrate). I wasn't familiar with the brand name, so I bought one of each (hey, it was only $1) and went home and looked it up on the internet....to my surprise I found out this stuff sells for a premium price. Seems to be popular in Europe, and they are trying to get a foothold in the US market. I'd assume that a auto supply place went out of business, and this dollar store got all of their stock of the product. Anyway, I went back the next day and stocked up on it....just one of those freakish good finds at a junky dollar store. The hubby tried the products out recently on his truck, and gave a favorable report. Anyway...the upholstery cleaner actually says that it can be used for Alacantara suede. I haven't tried it on my Xfire yet as the seats are clean, but it worked well on the filthy seats of my son's Hyundai.

 

haha how many more bottles of that stuff do you have left?

 

Lol, I really stocked up....after I saw what a good deal it was, I went back and bought 7 or 8 of each item. With 3 cars in the household, we'll go through it pretty quickly.
