Cleaning Suede

My T/A came with the Recaro leather/ suede seats. I'm wondering how to clean the suede... I have no clue when it comes to this sort of stuff. Thanks.

actually I just did a search on that site and there are actually quite a few posts about it but nobody seemed to know how to clean suede. They all knew how to clean this other material, I forgot what it's called now, but something similar to suede. Nobody seemed to know exactly how to clean suede tho. I'm hopin' someone else on here with Recaro seats knows how to do it

check that link out, your answer awaits you :-P

And for those who dont wanna read through that post, i think the general agreement was that you should use a microfiber towell with a smallll amount of water, and a stiff (yet soft) bristled brush.....and thats it :-p
