    Best way to clean the Suede Inserts?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey Guys,

    It looks like the toiletries from my gym bag may have leaked a bit creating a stain on my back seat suede insert. Only dealing with leather in the past, is there a specific process I should use to clean the suede, or best practices to keep things looking great?

    Thanks again

    I use sonax alcantara cleaner and it works great. On the remaining leathers use the sonax one-step foam. I was always a die hard separate cleaner / conditioner fan, but this stuff works really well and is very easy to use.

    Technically it's Alcantera - and I've used Sonax Alcantera Cleaner

    Here's the recommended options though:

    For your Alcantara, here's an incredibly detailed article by TOGWT (famed in detailing circles for his knowledge and documentation), about "Alcantara Cleaning and Care."
