Just bought a car with leather / alacantra interior. Wondering what people are using to clean it with.

Also has any one got any good tips for making it less bobbly?

Shave it very carefully with a razor blade

Shaving it will make it wear out alot quicker! I got some cleaning stuff for it can't remember off the top of my head what it is but will have a look when i'm home and let you know.

You will see a difference with that stuff. I had to use a few different cloths as they got very dirty. It does work really well.

Thanks, its a blue alacantra so you can see the dirt on it more so than in a 6. Cheers
