Alcantara cleaning
 
What's the best products for cleaning and maintaining the Alcantara seats and steering wheel please ?

There's some other threads on this if you search. I've used the Raceglaze Alcantara cleaner successfully. The only danger really is throwing up when you see the state of the cleaning cloth afterwards.

BMW sell their own one in a aerosol can, it's fairly decent, I was using the Raceglaze stuff, but if you get splash onto your plastic steering wheel trims it's prone to discolour them.

I used Autoglym shampoo and a bobble remover and it worked a treat, it didn't look that dirty until seeing the state of the cloth afterwards.

Same here :thumbs: this combo works an absolute treat.
I did use "Raceglaze" as well (t's a good product) but as mentioned before it marks all other surfaces nearby permanently :banghead: whereas the AUTOGLYM stuff doesn't.

I simply used a white towel, clear water and a tooth brush. Worked like a charm. You just have to go light on the water and not soak the alcantara.

Watched this video, which, coincidentally shows how to clean the CSL alcantara wheel.
