60sec short on cleaning the Alcantara wheel


Hey all, just picked up a 2018 coupe and the guy who owned it before me left the steering wheel an absolute mess 🤢

Came up great if anyone is interested in how to get the Alcantara coming back up ‘fluffy’

Thanks for the video.

I used these brushes:

Amazon.com: PROPER DETAILING CO. Car Detailing Brush Set, 3 Pack Natural Boars Hair Detailing Brush Set, Clean Interior or Exterior, Wheels, Tires, Engine Bay, Leather Seats, Car Detailing Kit, Detailing Brush : Automotive Amazon.com: PROPER DETAILING CO. Car Detailing Brush Set, 3 Pack Natural Boars Hair Detailing Brush Set, Clean Interior or Exterior, Wheels, Tires, Engine Bay, Leather Seats, Car Detailing Kit, Detailing Brush : Automotive

And this cleaner:

Amazon.com: Sonax (206141) Upholstery and Alcantara Cleaner - 8.45 fl. oz., 250 Milliliter : Automotive Amazon.com: Sonax (206141) Upholstery and Alcantara Cleaner - 8.45 fl. oz., 250 Milliliter : Automotive

Seems to do the trick as well.

My entire steering wheel is alcantara and I ran into the same issue from the prior owner. I try to clean my steering wheel once a month, makes it a lot easier.
