My SS has the silver inserts and the driver's side is slightly discolored compared to the passenger's after 54k of pretty much only me in the car. Anybody braved cleaning a set yet and what did you use. Thanks.

 

woolite and water mixed 4 to 1

 

Thanks. Brush??? Wipe with pure water afterwards or vacumn???

 

I had a customer in DFW before I moved away, who had an SS. It has been a while, but if I remember, it has Suede inserts yes? If my memory is correct,then there really isn't anything you can do with it. Suede is a very particular material, and can easily be trucked up. Lint roller is a good way. As for the leather, APC @10:1 followed by D18 is what I used on leather vehicles.

 

Ultralux suede = synthetic suede .
Ice interior cleaner has worked well for me on the ultalux.
Scares you had first because its wet and changes color .
Cleans it best so far. Always looking for a better way . So post what you come up with.
Ice , Synthetic cleaner , For a synthetic leather . Go figure.

 

What'cha talking 'bout......weez got authentic imitation suede

 

Good as beef in a Taco Bell taco...

 

The "suede" is called ALCANTARA and here is what people suggest for cleaning it.

I've always dampened lightly with the spray, brush with a soft bristle brush and vacuumed out.

on the headliner i just slightly dampen and GENTLY wipe with a clean cloth

I don't have silver inserts.. mine are black so I suggest you do a sample area first.

I have never had a problem with any of the cars I have cleaned. I use woolite on everything dash seats and carpet.

 

I used turtle wax upholstery cleaner as it was just on sale at canadian tire.
foamed it on, massaged it in with my hand and used a synthetic shammy to extract it out as well as get clean any tough areas. then i used the upholstery part of my steam cleaner to extract the rest. BRAND NEW!

ps. the shammy was used with water. Also if you don't have a steam cleaner, use the vacuums at any car wash. Works in a pinch.
