Recaro Seat Cleaning

Can anyone recommend the best way and what product to use on the Recaro seats to keep them clean, especially the suede bits. Thanks

Sorry for the dumb and newbie question, is there a mixture with the woolite, or is it a simple put on microfiber and starting scrubbing?

I just use a large suede brush (usually sold For shoes) on the seats and wheel. In my experience with suede over time, the longer you can avoid products the better.

GM calls it micro suede I believe, which is exactly what Alcantara is defined as. It’s essentially a manufactured suede.

That could be tricky, anything strong enough for nail polish, could quite possibly dissolve the microfibre.
