Cleaning Alacantara

I know some of you just try for a warranty claim, but for those of us who can't whats the best way to try to clean the alacantara steering wheel??

Sale for seats, etc... not that they need doing, just wondering some a time they might need a rub down.

I also seem to use a bucket of hot water with a handful of washing powder. Comes up a treat. Use the razor for de-bobbling.

Heard about the razor de-bobbling trick, fortunatly that isnt really an issue.. its in the thumb slots where theres like a build up of 'grime' that feels sticky if you've been driving for awhile.

Showering regularly can help
