Best way to clean stock tc seats
I have a silver ss/tc with the silver and black seats. I get really dirty at work and it's becoming a pain in the ass to keep clean. How is everyone else cleaning they're tc seats? If I don't find an easy way to keep them clean then I will put them up for trades for some recaros or something easier to clean.

This question has been asked and answered on here before, but I can't remember the exact solution. It was some sort of alacantra cleaner. Alacantra = ultralux, ours was just a different brand or something. Just look for an alacantra cleaner somewhere. I heard that you're not supposed to use soap/cleaner and water on the ss/tc seats because the suede will matte down.

i was recommended tuff stuff when i had tc seats by a few people on here. u get it at vatozone for cheap, in a yellow aerosol can. it helps quite a bit. go per the instructions - spray on, don't wipe much but in one direction (ultralux is delicate) then vacuum. its all in the vacuum. but yea, tuff stuff is what u need. idk how steam cleaners would work on the tc seats but i might get the afformentioned for my recaros

My recaros looked really bad when I bought them... Used the cleaner I talked about and let it dry..... The next day I could still see spots but less noticeable.... So I repeated the process ans bam!! They are clean 
I use to wash cars and shampoo at home until I got paid 20 dollars for a 5 hr job. I said its not worth it.

I would just use any carpet cleaner with a hand attachment and some commercial carpet cleaner..that stuff picks up pretty much anything. if it doesn't work the first time try it another time or two.
