Haha. C'mon. There is more than lint on there. I mean a deep clean. Not really on the suede part but the middle part. There is a little stain I have tried to get out. No luck. Thinking of just steam cleaning or something.


In the ITR forum one of the guys did an AWESOME write up on cleaning some JDM Yellow Recaros.

Are the seats really made of alcantara suede?

Where did you find that?

Take it to a reputable full service car wash and have them do a full interior detail in which they will steam clean the seats and shampoo the carpet. I did it and my interior looks great. It was about $70.

I think this was a good question, I was kinda wondering the same, but I'm in Iraq, so I can't even see my car right now
