Alcantara (Artificial Suede) material is used in many of todays modern sports/luxury cars as a lightweight but durable and attractive alternative to leather, found in many Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Audi, BMW and Mercedes interiors to name just a few, it can also be found in many luxury Yachts. Its cleaning requirements are different to Leather as it is a man made material whereas Leather is a natural product. Therefore it is important not to use steam cleaners or standard fabric cleaning methods. Leather cleaners and leather conditioners must also be avoided.
Special attention: Neither rub the material nor use harsh detergents or solvents which may permanently damage the material or the fine fibres. Swissvax Alcanta Cleaner uses bio degradable ingredients (Vegetable Based) and was specifically developed for cleaning Alcantara interiors. Avoid products made from animal fats and surfactants because these will leave undesirable residues in the fibres after cleaning
