I own several vehicles with leather interiors. Best product for leather interiors hands down is Leatherique. Comes with a seperate conditioner and a cleaner. 1st you apply the conditioner, allow to sit windows up on a hot day out of the sun for several hours, then you apply the cleaner (yes cleaner is 2nd).

Available from Amazon.com. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Sorry read that as leather. Suede in a car interior? If it's alacantara it can be cleaned with the product made by Halfords.

I guess it could be the Alcantara. I always assumed it was suede i guess, looks like suede, feels like suede... must be suede. Suede is not used in auto interiors?

It's probably a synthetic suede, such as Alcantara, Ultrasuede, etc. What car is this on? Should be easy to look it up.
 
Is this the seats/inserts, dash, door panels, or the steering wheel??

I have a Sparco suede steering wheel, and I just stainless/brass brush the bejeesus out of it to clean it, and bring up the nap.

I might try the stuff which dparm has suggested.
 
Lexol cleaner (orange bottle) may work. It's easy to work it up into a foam with a round brush. However, Lexol preservative (brown bottle) is NOT to be used on suede.

I would remove dirt & lift the knap with a brass wire brush first, then use the orange bottle above.

door inserts and sides of seats
 
Looking at it and comparing to alcantara I would say that it is suede. From what I find through a search of the material is that some say it's suede and others alcantara. Any great idea of how to tell the 2 apart?
 
The only way I've ever been told how to tell is that IF you can see the other side of the material, and it is tanned leather looking, then it is suede.
But NO ONE expects you to cut your seat coverings to find this out!
