SS/TC seats glazing
Has anyone noticed that the faux suede material on the ss/tc seats appears that is is sort of glazing together... I'd take a pic, but I dont feel a pic would really show what im talking about.

Not that its that bad but in the next year it may be worse. I wonder if it would be covered under warranty or if they'll just send you out the door saying it's just wear and tear.

It could be salt from your sweat drying and caking on there. Try and take a scrub brush and gently go against the grain. Mist some water on it and try again. I had this same issue in another car I had.

Its not faux suede(I GUESS you can call it that, but it's not meant to mimic suede that's not it's intention) it's called Alcantara and it's a synthetic polyester that is 70% lighter than leather, and a very sticky substance (this allows seat grip).
Just a little history lesson, you should be glad they used this in our cars, it's actually a pretty expensive material and is even used in most exotic cars like the Porsche GT3RS. (Although it's a little bit better of a version).
Try and find the appropriate cleaner for alcantara, and it should fix your problem.
