mild soap & water. My backseats were owned by a half a bottle of Mequires liquid wax and after hours of scrubbing they look new again.

don't use a hard toothbrush, or even a toothbrush at that matter. it won't do major damage, but the part of the "suede" you scrub with the toothbrush, becomes dull and less soft. so just use a rag or something soft.

it isn't velour. that's what pimps and playas wear. it's called alcantra. if you do a search you'll come up with this good page

If your wanting to clean the seats(including the alcantra) and they dont actually have any stains on them(i mean mud or liquid or chocolate etc!) but still look kinda dirty, buy a clothes brush and give them a good brush.

Thats what I do on mine and it makes them look new. Loads of dust will come out of them so youll have to do your dash afterwards!

Yes, sir.

Fake suede. But suede cleaner works on it.
