Cleaning the Alcantara roof lining
 

I have just spent 1.5 hours as a passenger in my own car. A highly pleasurable journey.
Anyway it gave me the opportunity to truly enjoy the cabin which included 10 secs stroking the roof lining!
Anyway the point of this post is a cleaning question. Having worried my roof I noticed the palm of my hand was filthy! So is there an 'approved' method/products for cleaning the lining or should I just buy a pack of wet wipes?

raceglaze alacantra is tops. Spray on microfibre and scrub or light mist on the roof lining and gentle rub. Do not saturate as it might sagg+++

Yeah, I used Raceglaze on my D2's Alcantara seats (grey) and it certainly freshened them up and made them less grubby.

Maybe it's just me but I would be too scared to apply any wet products to my Alcantara headlining as its beige and perfectly unmarked :o

Perhaps a soft brush for a start?

I've seen some videos of guys using a wet vac afterwards to lift the fibres and extract the moisture, is that something you would guys do??

I've sourced a set of Sport Alcantara seats for my S8 which I'm planning to fit very soon, but I want them nice and clean before I do that.
I would love to also restore/dye black leather as well so it looks absolutely mint.

I can't believe how much grip Alcantara seats offer, it's ridiculous, you stick to them like velcro strip and they look amazing along Alcantara head lining and carbon trim.

Thanks

and you can make pretty OCD patterns!! :D+++
