How to clean Alcantara?

[redpony05]

ive got the boss 302 steering wheel in my GT, and now that ive had it for a while, im wondering how do you clean alcantara?? lol

after seeing the amount of crap that comes off of the leather steering wheels in my parents cars, i imagine theres a similar amount on my wheel... but i cant see it like i can on the tan leather.

so, anyone have any experience with cleaning alcantara or suede?

the only dedicated Alcantara cleaner that i know of is from Swissvax...there could be other cleaners, but that's the only one that i know of

by the way, how was the wheel install? i was thinking of getting that as well...do you have all the buttons working?

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out. I know swissvax makes good stuff

The install was pretty easy. As for the buttons, yes and no. I wired the cruise control and horn to work, but since I have the stock shaker500 head unit the audio controls don't work (I made them light up though). Appearantly guys with aftermarket head units have gotten them to work however. Here's a link for some wiring help. The link for my original install is in there too.
