If you have a Camaro, you don't have real Alcantara on your steering wheel and shifter anyway - it's a knockoff sueded microfiber material. Just about any quality interior cleaner will keep it looking like new, but test a small spot first to make sure.
Race drivers prefer real Alcantara - it's lighter, more durable, easier to grip and transmits more feel than the typical hard or shiny leather found in most consumer vehicles. It's also no more difficult than leather to maintain properly, using Alcantara cleaner. Real Alcantara is also much more rare and expensive than the cheap, thin leather most mass-market manufacturers use on their seats, steering wheels and shift knobs. (What kind of "leather" is that - goat? mouse? dairy cow?) Real Alcantara is produced in Italy at only one shop, and it's in short supply around the world; demand far exceeds supply - so you may find it in a Lexus, but not in your 1LE.
