I have microfiber cloths that I am using with mine. I have been using very soft toothbrushes as the brush, but Sonax among other brands also offer leather / textile brushes that are safe for alcantara as well.

I use this microfiber cloth. https://adamspolishes.com/collection...-utility-towel
I spray the Sonax onto the cloth and wipe it on the steering wheel and shifter. I have not had to do my seats yet. But it fluffs the Alcantera right up and makes it look new again.

Will this work on a wheel and shifter that's been matted down for a year and a half?

What they said, Sonax and I use this brush, make sure you let it dry completely.

I went cheap, with armor all leather care wipes. They seem to work well.

Tyestick · 12-31-2019, 09:40 PM

I use the same product I used on my 5th Gen 1LE...

SONAX.

While expensive, it works. Really well.

As most here, I use the Sonax stuff as well. I pay ~ $10 for a can.
I like it a lot and use it on all my cars' upholstery (Both Alcantara and cloth)
