Default How do you protect your suede seats?

So I notice the suede seats that come stock in a ISDM ITR tend to wear on the drivers side from getting in and out. Has anyone come up with a solutions to this?

cleaning with mild soap and a tooth brush helps keep them clean

my front seats and arm rest were stained pretty bad and they lost that softness on the suede parts, so i tried this cleaner by Prestone called interior cleaner its in a red spray can with a bristle top. it cleaned them very well and it brought back the soft suede feel, removed stains, and didnt cause any fading.

i clean mine with a dark colored washcloth and a bucket of dish washing soap and water..i dunk the washcloth in the bucket ring it out a little and wire the seats down using a nice firm pressure..after im finished wiping down one seat i use another 100% dry towel to dry the seats..i just rewipe them down using the same amount of pressure..if theres a spot that dosent come clean or looks a little off hit it again with the soapy water until it is gone then dry it off and start on the next seat ..ive been using this method all summer long becaue im scared as hell of my seats,stitching,recaro lettering.. getting faded..so far so good ..my seats look mint as hell ..to keep the bolsters in tip top shape just dont sit on,push off of, or touch them at all when getting in and out of the car..they are made to hold you in the seat.. not as a helper for you to get in and or out of the car...if the bolsters are allready wrinkled your pretty much screwed unless you take the seat to an automotive upholstery shop and tell them to fix it

Cheater

I just noticed the other day a little wear on the driver's seat. Time for a truck, a cage, and a race seat? Maybe.
