Cleaning the alcantara seats...or changing them out.
I have the seats with the alcantara/suede in the middle. Any tips on cleaning? The passenger seat has a little burn in it so there is a hole, no way of fixing that really right?
How much do you think it would cost down the road if the suede really gets bad to replace it with new fabric?

I just bought my 14 pre-used and the passenger, along with driver seat, had some old stains in there as if a drink spilled on them. I cleaned my seats yesterday, using Lexol VINYLEX (from Amazon, impossible to find in stores) and a lint-free cloth.
The Vinylex did a PHENOMENAL job, seats literally look brand new, and the mb-tex feels nice and soft now (felt coarse before).
Would highly recommend the Vinylex for cleaning the MB-Tex / Dinamica seats!

I just use a drop or two of dish detergent in a bucket of water and a microfiber cloth to clean the steering wheel. Then I use a toothbrush to "fluff" the fabric. Simply put, it works amazing. The best part of it, it will not cost you really anything except some sweat-labor to give this a try. Don't use much dish detergent in the water.
