I`m looking at purchasing a set of the factory Evo X seats for my 2015 Evo since they did not come with them. Any cleaning advice from those that have worked with them? Here are the pictures the seller sent to me.

I haven`t worked on these specifically, but they look like alcantara from the pictures. If that`s the case here are my processes.

I use a specific upholstery cleaner called fabric master HD, it cleans the things commonly found here: grease, body oil, dirt and self neutralizes. I spray a towel and gently wipe to avoid messing up the fibers. For any pilling I use 2000 grit sandpaper, again, gently. For any matted areas I use the leather master nubuck cloths. For any difficult grease stains, like mechanics grease, I use everclear (this is the only time I advocate 90% grain alcohol in the driver seat).

Avoid soaking the fabric and overworking it if possible.

As a side note, fabric master HD also works wonders on contrasting stitching on leather seats and steering wheels.
