TritonII Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 As per the title, I have gear gaitor and steering wheel in Alcantara and am looking for recommendations for cleaning and protecting. During my reading of various forums prior to buying my car I saw a thread on one of the forums with many opposing views and I'm sure the final view was just soap and water...… but of course now I want the thread I can't find it anywhere. So any real life experiences would be most welcome. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Not a lot of experience with it myself, but it looks like a cleaning spray and a soft brush to agitate the dirt gently, then a clean microfibre to wipe it off with. https://www.autofinesse.com/en/blog/guides/alcantara-cleaning Its not easy stuff to keep clean, especially in these virus times. My steering wheel is standard leather, I wiped it after the garage had worked on the car on Tuesday, and the wipe was dark brown, took a couple before it was clear, yuk! Why they dont use steering wheel covers I dont know. It was pretty clean before as I cleaned and dressed all the leather a couple of weeks back.

TritonII Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 @Beanoir Do you have a similar product to the one linked for cleaning alcantara please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend Stjarnagloss Inni - it’s a light interior cleaner, which is good for Alcantara. I probably wouldn’t use a brush, but a cloth/towel. I have some in stock if you want, let me know 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
