I could be wrong mate, but as far as I'm aware you can only use a suede brush, and that's it:Suspiciou
I'm sure I will be corrected shortly:D

I use a combo of autoglym interior shampoo (only a small amount) , warm water , clothes brush, terry towel and my George wet vax.

Yeah- Polished Bliss stuff is what I use too :)

What are you covering up your seats with? I had a set of ScoobyWorld seat covers on for a while and they could have potentially ruined my seats :(

What happened mate? Was thinking of buying a set.

They rubbed on some edges of the fabric and when you sit in them, as you put pressure inward (via your @rse) they pull the bolsters in and end up wrinkling.... :(

I don`t think they`re intended for permanent use though :wonder: I have one incase I`m a bit mucky and have to use the car. I know which is nicer to sit on everyday :thumb:

This will produce a slightly foamy lather, which may discolour as any soiling is progressively released. The lather should be wiped away using a damp Atomiza Microfibre Work Towel, and the surface then left to dry naturally. For general cleaning duties, Raceglaze Alcantara Cleaner should be sprayed on lightly and then left to sit for 1-2 minutes before being wiped off using a damp Atomiza Microfibre Work Towel.
