Ive been trying to find this stuff but Im not having to much luck . I found a place in Tampa that sells it , but only in large quantities . Ive tried local upolstery shops , but they dont wanna tell me where they get their stuff if their not doing the work on my car .

I know where I can get real suede , but I specifically want the synthetic microfiber Alcantara for my project .

 

what is your project?

 

Lets just say without changing the look too much , Im un-cheapening the look inside . From cleaning the hard plastic dash and door panels is starting to look shiney , I hate it . I wanna do Leather on the top of the dash and top door sills , and I want the alcantara on the lower portion of the dash . And most likely piano black for the silver dash bezels .

 

just stop cleaning your dash and whatnot with cleaners...soap and water will clean it and won't make it shiny

that's what i do every month...use meguirs every once an awhile.

 

^^^ That IS all I use . I dont even use tap water . I buy distilled water and use a small amount of Dawn . Im just extremely picky .

 

Im planing on doing this to the top of my door panels. My arm has rubed the plastic and u can tell theres wear now. should look nice

I forgot to mention im gona check on doing the center of the SS seats also.

 

Hehe , me too . I want ebony leather , with Alcantera inserts with burnt orange perimeter stitching . That will be the last thing I do because it will cost the most . I just want to get the dash and door panels handled at the momnet . If I can find somewhere that will sell the stuff without having to buy a complete roll .

 

That sounds awesome, Id really appreciate an how to on this when you finally get around to it

 

With lots of pics!!!
