Title: CS alcantara steering wheel.
Post by: rwleigh on 21 May 2019, 20:01

After a couple of years or so my CS steering wheel was starting to look a little shiny and dirty in places so I did a bit of research on a good alcantara cleaner and came up with this stuff to try.

I forgot to take any before shots but anyone else out there with a CS will know what they start to look like after a while. I gave it a good dose of this stuff well rubbed in and left it for a short while, I then gave it a rub with a clean microfibre cloth and left it to dry.

The results were very impressive, i'd recommend it to others with a CS...  :smiley:

You don't need any special cleaners.

Product and video both good finds. My dad has a Juke nismo rs with an alcantara interior which is quite hard to keep. These will definitely be useful :)

They're just a Nisssan Micra in a Sumo Suit. Got to be the ugliest car in current production. That Nismo engine is seriously low on torque for the BHP.
