Hello everyone just picked up My car this morning....I ordered with Alcantra seats and i was wondering on how to clean it.hopefully the pics show you more detail on how the Alcantra is Thanks.
 
I would have a look at what the Mfg has to say. I looked them up online quickly and did not see much on care.

It says to use water for most stains, Do you think diluted woolite would hurt it?

I would follow what they say . If its your own car try the woolite route but if your doing a customers I would do as they suggest. JMO
 
Glad to see you stuck with a traditional stick versus SMG. Sorry just a traditionalist with a 94 325 & 175k miles running strong. In regards to cleaning alcantra I suggest seeing what they have in the BMW service department. They usually use Meguiars products or have a relabeled BMW product which is easy to identify becuase the bottles are the same as the manufacturer. I know this isn't the exact answer you wanted-but BMW usually isn't real sophisticated when it comes to protecting car care products-except gummifledge. BTW they stopped making gummifledge so if you use it go grab another tube. Beat the Wurth product! Good luck and pay attention to the maintenance recommendation on that thing-finky little monster!
 
Very nice, M3 with the Competition pkg? You may try the woolite route in some sort of incospicuous area, but I'd probalby stick with the mfg. instructions unless the seats seem really dirty.
