Ive got the JDM red ITR recaros.

How can I avoid puting some wrinkles on them? better yet, how can I smooth out some light wrinkles if there are some?

Any cleaning tips. looks like a bitch to maintain.
Need some help guys. thanks!

 

first of all its not suede,
it's alcantara - a synthetic material.

Best way I have found to take car of it is do the following:
1. Vacum (sp?) car thoroughly.
2. Find a nice soft brush, and brush all the alcantara to remove any loose dirt. You will find that if you brush it in the right direction, it looks alot better - work on this
3. Wilson's Leather sells a really nice aerosol suede and leather cleaner that you simply spray on to all the material. Spray that stuff on, then use the brush and brush it real good.
4. Wilson's also sells a treatment spray that I use too. After the seats are thoroughly cleaned, spray the treatment on the alcantara surfaces and brush again. This will restore the nap of the material and make it look new again. Plus it protects against water and stains.

This stuff doesn't cost that much (cleaner and treatment = $12 or so) and it really keeps the material looking good. Clean the seats like twice a year, and they'll always look good... It's a actually a very durable material.

(or you can just use soap and water, but... it's your car)

Edit: Just realized that your in the Phillipines... well, good luck finding Wilson's stuff...
(this'll work for you USDM folks though)

well i work at a detail place and they told me to use degresser watered down to clean it ive onlytired it on my arm rest so far but it did clean it pretty well

 

I would NOT use a chemical degreaser, no matter how watered down it is...
now if your talking about simple green, then that's different

 

Just one word of caution:

I was vacuuming my seats one day and the plastic part of the brush attachment left a friction burn on the alcantara. Just a little smudge where it heated up the material and melted a little bit.
