theunderlord Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 no steam clean, right ?←nahh, you don't really need to. You want to keep moisture away from leather and synthetic leathers. Lexol is great, try and buy it at a pet store instead of a car parts store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtbone Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I just used water and woolite with a clean cloth to clean the alcantara. I also used a tooth brush and a fabric shaver to get the pills off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the convenience of the Meguiars leather wipes myself. But Lexol is a very fine product, it wasn't in stock when I bought my wash equipment.

gaterp Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I need to do the yearly cleaning on my alcantara. I have only had the car for like 4 months. I went to there web page and it said use their cleaning products. But I did not see anywhere that I could order there products from. It's in some what good condition but has few spots on the driver seat that the fabric is balling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
