http://www.370z.com/Portals/0/Magazi.../2.%20door.jpg

you know this is so pain in the butt to clean this part... I don't even know which proper product I should buy to clean that fabric. Sometime when a person with really dry skin sit on my passenger seat, he leaves like white skin particles all over you know..it's disgusting. And when I take my ride out really sunny day, I can see that so much more clearly which makes me so disgusted. Can anyone recommend me a proper product to clean that arm rest fabric?? Thanks

I used a damp (not soaking wet), soft microfiber towel. No product or anything, just water and it cleans right off. I would avoid any product or steam cleaning as is could damage the fabric. A soft uphostery brush also works.

Be carefull with that stuff. I used it on the console and it left white, dry residue. Apparently you HAVE TO use leather conditioner afterward or it will dry the plastic/vinyl. I don't think your suppose to use that stuff on Alcantra/suede. I could be mistaken.

pain in the butt clean ups can be done effectivly using TOTO's Washlet's.


for dry skin try dry MF towel (not the super short thread ones)

I would use Folex fabric cleaner. Spray it on a short pile microfiber towel so that the towel is damp, then wipe down the cleaner and work it until you are content. Folex will not leave any residue and is one of the best fabric/carpet cleaners out there. You can pick it up at most grocery stores and supermarkets too.

However, is there a product that doesn't damage my fabric but clean more deeply? like somehow some of them are not only dry skin particles, but something else that won't clean easily.

What the heck are people doing in your car? Is it something that would glow with a black light? lol

I'm telling you, try some Folex sprayed on a towel and wipe the fabric. You will be amazed at how much dirt you will pull out! It does not need to be rinsed either, however you can follow up with a damp towel and wipe it down to remove the remainder of the Folex. It is cheap too and can be found at grocery stores and supermarkets.
