Which shampoo with Vax for red suede / alcantara Recaros?
Discussion
My Type r is fitted with red Recaros with cloth centres and suede / alcantara style bolsters. I'd like to clean them. We have a Vax carpet cleaner which I was planning on using but I don't want to cause fading.
Are off the shelf interior cleaners safe on the red? Woolite gets lots of recommendations.
Should I just use the Vax to and dry?
Am I just being lazy and should do everything with buckets and cloths?
Car isn't used everyday so could be left to dry for a week or two.
Thanks

I use Koch chemie polstar on the seats in my CSL.

If you're talking about the FN2 seats, I can vouch for Woolite.
Mixed about 80:20 water/cleaner in a spray bottle, agitated with a microfibre cloth and vacuumed. Don't use anything too rough as it can leave the red bits fuzzy.
Did use a small amount of G101 on a stained area but wouldn't want to do that over a large area or frequently.
Also remember running the clippers over the slightly bobbled bolsters to great effect on that car... Left the seats like new.
