I just got some ITR seats and one of them has a stain on the suede. I am afraid to spray just anything on them to try and clean them becuase Im afraid to make them worse... any reccomendations?
It's not suede, it's alcantara (also known as ultrasuede) a type of man made microfiber used for interiors and furniture. It's more forgiving and more durable than real suede.
Start with water and a sponge. If no dice, dillute some woolite (read the directions on the bottle). Blot the spot, don't rub it in.

recently i used some <U>Vanish carpet and upholstery mousse</U> on my jdm seats and it did a great job.
but i dont know if you get that stateside.
whatever you do decide to use remember to do a tiny spot test where it wont be seen for colourfastness mate.

I only EVER use a swede brush to remove stains of the seats. One side of the brush has fine metal bristles to remove the stain, and then the other side has rubber bristles to smooth out the surface. This is what is used on suede shoes. Cleaning products leave a residue on the material which dirt and dust sticks to.
