    How do you clean your Alcantara interior?

    I have a few, rather large stains on my seats, but I can't find much comprehensive info on how to clean them out. I don't want to just 'try something' out of fear for ruining it.

    How do you guys clean your interior?

    Different car, same techniques!!

    If it's just on the regular cloth I would try and find a shampoo "extractor" or just try the more aggressive methods. See some of Larry's other videos too for interior stuff, he's a master.

    Thanks, Evan! Kinda worries me because where I can the stain, the fabric is softer. I think it's going to be there for a while...

    Find a local carpet cleaning service or independent and see if they can help. I know they can its just if they will, I use a $3500 machine at my job and it is far superior to the ones you rent from home depot.

    I use 'tough stuff' and a VERY fine/soft brush on my car. Then I wipe it down with a hot wet damp micro fiber followed by a dry one.

    I used some dish washing soap, warm water, and a tight bristled brush. Scrub the heck out of the entire seat, then immediately suck all of the moisture and dirt out with a shop vac.

    My seats came out nearly perfect.
