Hi everyone,
I am contemplating fitting some seats from a tf into my f.I have two choices,,some leather with alcantra inserts or some full leather seats.The alcantra ones,which I am leaning towards,have a light grey insert,but ,I have seen some real grubby ones and wondered which was the best method of cleaning and maybe proofing.I am assuming that the full leather was the more expensive option when new but are plain black.I know it is ultimately my choice but wondered what others choices would be.
Regards Neil

Invalid or non-existent item ID.Alcantara cleans up ok - you can download a care manual here

http://www.alcantara.com/en/experience/manutenzione/manutenzione.shtml

it will bobble up with wear which makes it look a lot worse - beieve it or not you can 'shave' it with one of these.



hope this helps

edit - beaten to it:(

Not sure on cleaning stuff I just used Wilkinson cheapo stuff and that does them ok

With Alcantara its more that they bobble and start to look scuffy, a couple of ways of sorting that are a pack of cheap disposable razors and just keep going at the affected area very lightly

The seats are quite tough though and will blunt the razors quickly, hence the cheapo large pack

I also have a bit of kit from Wilkisons, as seen on TV the BobbleOff its ment to take bobbles off worn clothes but works on seats to, just keep cleaning out the head as you do it.....they are about £6 an battery driven

Hope it helps

I fixed Tigger's ebay link.
To post a link you just need the item no. Post that in the ebay link along the top of the new post window.

Plain black was not the only full leather option. My TF has black and blue leather.

There is also black and red.

If you're looking for inspiration - unfortunately can't spare the beer tokens.
