Try a Nubuck sponge and cleaner from a shoe shop - of all places.

As it says on the tin, try an inconspicuous are of the suede first.

Any other car manufacturer would list a suede cleaning kit - no doubt at a very high price.

Is it suede or Lamonta? Think you'll find that suede is a natural product and lamonta is man made. I personnally would check any oil based product on it first. I have used Vanish power shot on my roof lining before now, brilliant stuff, works on carpets as well.

I have heard it referenced to as Lamonta inserts, makes sense
as I think suede would not be tough enough...

I have some water marks on my seat inserts where I left my
window open !!!!

Dont know of this Vanish product you talk about ? cant
find it online...

You can get Vanish from any supermarket or local store. It's in pink can. I used it on my Tam door cards to get rid of the water marks, i brushed it in with a suede brush and then hoovered to excess water off.
