Products to Maintain Alcantara

I have a 1LE with an Alcantara steering wheel, shift knob, etc. Can anyone recommend brushes and products to keep things looking nice? Links are appreciated!

Gloves. Seriously. 13 months and 3500 miles later mine looks brand new. Only brushed it twice with a dry suede brush. I know Sonax makes an alcantera product of you need some cleaning power.

Sonax works great on my 1LE suede.
