i have an alcantara BMW steering wheel and its starting to fade in areas where my hands generally sit. what can i use to restore its color? i see leather cleaners? suede cleaners? i dont know if theres any alcantara cleaners? thanks for the input.

Leather Master Foam cleaner which is an aerosol version of their Strong Cleaner. Use as directed and keep in mind multiple thin applications and cleanings are better than trying to do it all at once.

I'd also recommend looking into the Leather Master Eco-Protector as a protectant once you do get things taken care of. Good luck!

is that better then Griots garage interior cleaner?

You think I'd respond with what I think wouldn't be the absolute best?

[michaelalex17]

good point. where do u buy it?

[michaelalex17]

and how do you do multiple light coats of its a foam? dont u just spray it on?

DetailersDomain.com carries the two product I'm talking about as do other online vendors.

Spray a lot on = using a lot
Spraying the minimal amount on = using less

Just another reason to not drench your wheel in product. Luckily it's foam - not a liquid you'll be spraying so I wouldn't worry too much and you should be fine.
