What to use on RS seats?

[TopazRS6spd]

So i'm concerned with what to use on my RS seats to clean and condition them. Since they are a mixture of leather and suede. I understand suede is a form of leather, however some products I've come across say not to use on suede even tough they're leather cleaner. So I'm just curious to see how you guys/gals are cleaning and protecting your seats??

Maybe mothers VLR. That's what i use on all interiors. Love the smell as well.

Vacuum then lightly brush the suede, all I've done to my TBSS and Sonic. I havent found anything I feel comfortable cleaning it with yet (ideas appreciated here), just vacuum and brush to bring the nap back on the suede.

I cant tell if VLR says it's safe for suede, Mother's website doesn't say and neither did the quick search I did. I'll look into it more, I need more interior cleaner and want to try a few different ones.

Thanks guys. Yeah for the most part I guess i can sue shoe cleaning stuff for the suede, like the eraser and than just brush them. But I really want something on the leather to prevent them from cracking and looking all funky. I guess i can use something like the vlr and just spray it on a rage and be careful not to get it on the suede just in case.

Bingo. I use leather cleaner then condition the leather parts of the seats. Speaking of that, havent done it since June...looks like I'm due.

Just an FYI, the "suede" you speak of is actually sueded microfiber, not a leather product.

Exactly why I recommended you dont use anything (leather cleaner) on them, just vacuum and brush.

Yeah the more I looked at the suede, it didn't feel like normal suede it felt more clothy.

the "suede" on the RS seat are not leather, it's ALCANTARA fabric.

the alcantara, it's better from suede, as it's really durable.
btw, it's stain resistance.

you can clear the seat with every leather conditioner that you have, but the alcantara you need only to brush and vacuum clean.

if you have stains, you can use watered cotton fabric to remove it from the alcantara, but you need do dry it with a dry cloth right after.
