They get dirty so easy and show up dirt so bad. Plus, my "Alcantera" door handles, I've cleaned them so many times I've nearly worn the suede down to nubs. Ah, the luxury life!
Prevention is better that recovery. I vacuum the doors at least once a month and use a product intended for suede shoes and a suede specific brush. I apply every 6 months. This is great stuff.

Took her out to west haverstraw and bear mountain in new York! Was a blast! Kept smelling them tires but I wasn't sliding. Soft winter tires? Hmm

Yeah I use the lil brush and the special suede cleaner and try not to go overboard but it's a DD and although as an EE I don't get my hands dirty it does build up. Oh well. Wear and tear. guess I'll replace it when it goes for good.
Thanks for the advice.

Had a 3M clear bra installed. Very happy with how it looks, can barely tell is there on pearl white. Got the bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors done. Thinking of going back and getting the headlights and a strip on the leading edge of the roof done.
