suede cleaning?

[built97cobra]

This is prolly a repost from some point in time but I looked through a bunch of pages with no luck.... If someone could either fill me in on the details to go about this or post a link that would be much appreciated

I just picked up my 97 with 03/04 interior and I would like to clean it up in the correct way....

I can't remember the name of the website off the top of my head. But I know they say not to use any harsh cleaners, or shampooing machines.l

I heard of using a light dose of woolite and a damp cloth.

Have NOT tried this yet.

Just use a clean, slightly damp, WHITE towel and lightly rub in varying directions. Any colors/patterns in the towel will transfers, so pure white is essential. I try not to soak the alcantara with the towel or press in too much, but get it slightly damp and lightly work off any imbedded dirt/grime. I only see a single shade darker in comparison with a dry spot. Vaccuum, and repeat.

If there are stubborn stains, use some diluted Woolite. However, this stuff cleans up really well with just the towel and water. Make sure you check/change the cleaning surface of the towel periodically as it will really pick up some dirt.

i just got a cobra with the suede seats as well and im wondering how to clean them too. ive heard the wool light is the way to go but a few companys make suede cleaners for shoes so i may give that a try

It's not suede. You'd be better off following the advice of the experienced individuals in this thread. Don't put shoe cleaner on your seats.

Would a similar process be advisable for my microsuede Corbeau TRS seats?

:beer:Cobra was 7 years old this June. Clean the inserts every spring getting ready for car show season, use a mix of 8 parts water 1 of Woolite CLEAN white towel ,spray insert, use damp towel ,rub lightly, use another damp towel to clean surface. Let dry. Works every time.
