Folks,

Techniques and recommendations please. How to return the lovely showroom fresh feel to the steering wheel and gear stick of my GT4, without damaging the alcantara?

Thank you.

I used to use this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/282699057750?chn=ps&a...

Spray on the wheel and then leave to soak and then use a damp cloth clean/agitate and leave to dry.

I use warm water with lemon juice added .. lemon is great for removing oil from the alcantara

I just use a warm, damp microfibre cloth regularly

30K miles and still looks / feels new

^^^^ this restored a wheel suffering from one lady driver's hand cream. Don't spray too much cleaner on each time.

Upholstery cleaner plus toothbrush plus microfibre cloth and the water to rinse ....

It works, and very very simply.
