Its suede right? cant i just use a suede brush, like on my shoes.....or will that F**k it up? Any tips?

 

Fake suede...Alcantara to be exact.

 

can alcantera be brushed do you know?

 

someone posted a while back about how to clean the alcantera

 

I keep a small plastic nail brush in the car, and when I have a min I just brush it a little, and so far it has kept a nice finish.

 

thanks mucho!

 

Yes you can use your suede shoe brush. And use some very diluted dishwashing liquid also. It'll bring the matte finish of the armrest back to 100%.

btw, I use a toothbrush to do this job since it's bristles are a bit softer. If you brush too hard with your suede brush, you can pull filiments of the red stitching thread...and the stitch will look fuzzy.

Cheese~

 

Nice I gotta try that, thanks for the tip.

 

Very goot directions

 

I'm going to try that toothbrush thing in the morning. Sounds like a good idea. I'll let you guys know how it works out on mine. Its starting to look a little faded as well.
