The seat centers are not real leather. Look for products to clean Alcantara.

Wow, as summer progresses this forum gets more ridiuclous. What a way to welcome noobs.

I agree. We will not tolerate useless replies in Tech sections. I have deleted the useless posts from this thread. When a member asks a legitimate question, it should be answered without harassing the member. It's also part of the forum rules. There is a fine line between posting a humor post in a thread and harassing a member because of their post.


As Modshack said, you can use leather cleaner to clean the leather part of the seats (sides). Then follow this .pdf to clean/maintain Alcantara.
Here's a .pdf file that you can look (start at page 10)

Stain Removal Instructions:

Maintenance / Stain removal

For smaller stains, if specific products are not on hand, follow these instructions.

- Act immediately, within 30 minutes of the stain's formation.
- First, remove the substance which has been spilled with a spoon or plastic spatula, if it is dense (yoghurt, jam, etc.), or with a white paper towel or sponge if it is liquid.
- Never pour the cleaning product directly on the material; rather, use a white cloth or a well-wrung sponge (rinse in clean water each time after wiping and wring out well).
- Try to reduce the stain by working from the edge towards the centre; do not scrub hard, otherwise it could spread or penetrate more deeply.

Depending on the type of stain, you can use water, lemon juice, or pure ethyl alcohol (grain alcohol) as a stain removal agent. Please read the treatment instructions below.

Water-soluble stains:
- Fruit juice, jam, gelatine, syrup, ketchup: lukewarm water; rinse by blotting with clean water.
- Blood, egg, feces, urine: cold water (avoid warm water, which could coagulate these substances); rinse by blotting with clean water.
- Liquor, wine, beer, Coca-Cola, tea: lukewarm water; treat any traces of colour with lemon juice, then rinse well.
- Copying pencil, cocoa, chocolate, custard and chocolate sweets, ice cream, mustard: lukewarm water; rinse by blotting with clean water.
- Vinegar, hair gel, tomato sauce, coffee sweetened with sugar: lemon juice, then lukewarm water; rinse by blotting with clean water.

NON-water-soluble stains:
- Lipstick, foundation, mascara, eye shadow, perfume, shoe polish, oil and grease, grass stains, markers (including permanent markers): blot with ethyl alcohol, then water, and rinse. Grass and marker stains, especially on light-coloured material, must be treated as soon as possible to keep them from drying.
- Chewing gum and wax: put ice in a plastic bag and set it on the stain; when the substance hardens, chip it away, then treat with ethyl alcohol.

Stubborn stains:
Try repeating the treatments described several times; even stains which are not water-soluble often require subsequent treatment with water.

Old stains of unknown origin:
First treat with lukewarm water, then rinse by blotting with clean water.
If you see the stain begin to dissolve, repeat the treatment; let dry, and if necessary, treat with ethyl alcohol.

Seriously - Welcome to the forums - we need to address this issue - Honestly too many people seem to get pissed off by new members posting questions that MIGHT have been answered earlier... this is a forum where we come to pool our information - not where we come to make fun of others due to their lack of ability to use the resource properly. Grow the f up... if you dont want to help - stay off the thread...

:iagree: I am starting to see this as well, and one individual, who seems to have "gotten up on the wrong side of the bed" as the saying goes, has been on the attack lately. Next time I see it I am going to report him. I don't understand the indignant attitude of some of these people.

Couldn't have said that any better.

Sometimes we can get out of hand.

Yea we don't want to head down the road of that My.com forum.
