Default houndstooth/pepita factoid

The newer generation material Porsche is using for houndstooth/pepita is made from the same material as the seatbelts--this is according to 000 magazine no. 1.

Any advice on maintenance tips? I assume any car fabric interior cleaner would suffice

I've been re-reading 000--getting anxious and paranoid about all the "ADM" and "last of NA" threads.....

That explains your RL handle

As far as cleaning. What I have been using with great success on my Audi RS4's plat. silver seatbelts is a product called "Active Foam". Simply spray it (after a good shaking of the can), as its name suggests is foams up, and then you lightly wipe off (vs scrub hard). Used the same for my silver headliner which can get soiled especially when I drive with the sunroof open, and has been working great for me.

pretty much

I'll give that a try, sounds interesting! been using Sonax Alcantara cleaner on the seat belts for a few years now and results have been pretty good but it works better on Alcantara.

Let me guess. Porsche came out with a limited run of 500 socks (numbered, including Left and Right designation), all sold out in mins, now trading at ADM (even for soiled versions)

That was my experience with the Pepita keychain at least lol

As far as the seats, interesting that they kept the GT3 stripes yet full custom leather and stitching + piping, which until now PAG has claimed is not doable.

Is that interior trim anthracite ? If so it looks darker than other pics I've seen. Whatever it is, it looks very nice.
