Question Tips on cleaning Alcantara

Yesterday, I spilled some coffee on my seat and went into panic mode I quickly reached out to a fellow rennlister who gave me solid counsel and at the same time started searching to net. I haven't had a chance to put much time into the search but I quickly found this short summary and found it useful. http://www.beverlyhillsporsche.com/b...ls-porsche.htm

Still searching and in the mean time just used a cloth with warm water to dab out the coffee as best I could.

In my understanding, the alcantara varies in composition, be it on the seats, steering wheel ect.


I was hoping others could use this thread to share, methods and/or specific products they have used succesfully on the alcantara throughout their Gt3's.

Thought you might find this useful. As a bit of a detail nut I actually did a review of this product. Luckily for you its on a GT3 as well.

If you have any questions, fire away

Still waiting for my manual, apparently there is some kind of shortage or hold up in getting them to dealers.
