I don't have the red, but I've used Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine clean. The two together are amazing. To get the best results, you'd have to take a couple of days with these products. I used them on my parents' 20 year old Volvo and the seats looked almost new when I finished.

The only way to keep the floor mats perfect is by not using them and replacing them.

I took my 40th Anniversary mats out immediately (they are in a closet) and replaced them with Nissan mats (with the metal Z). These mats are much thicker and seem to be lasting pretty well (they are a year old).

Alcantara
They have good cleaning tips. I have used them and the fabric looked mint after a nice brushing. Now I just want to get some kind of sealant or protectant to use on it next time I do a full interior cleaning. |

i have the grey interior and my door handle (on the panel) was stained (for about 3 days), and i finally got around to cleaning it.
I used 100% lemon juice (in one of those containers that are shaped like a lemon) and dabbed it right on the stain. let it sit for about 15 seconds and preceded to dab luke wark water on it and then brushed away with a microfiber towel. brushed pretty hard too, basically using friction to dry the stain. let it sit over night. stain is 90% gone, noone but myself would notice it. just throwing it out there

Thanks for update Econ! I plan on trying basically the same thing like it says on the alcantara website to do! I plan on using a soft bristled brush (tooth brush) to brush/scrub it out...... I only need to do my drivers side door though so I hope it goes well!
