Just for the record, the "suede" material is called "Ecsaine" and is something of an "ultra-suede." It's synthetic. The owner's manual suggests using a mixture of warm water and Woolite (actually, they use a generic term that means "Woolite"). You'll want to use a soft cloth and "blot" (don't scrub) the dirt away. Some, however, have had good luck using commercial suede cleaners that are used on shoes(the spray type, available at shoe departments at Wal-Mart, or at shoe stores). Just follow the directions on the can.

Me too! Wouldn't o' thunk it, if I hadn't read the owner's manual.

They're clean for the most part but after like 50 of them touch it it starts to get a little oily and dirty. Just want to take care of it so it lasts a long time.

I drape towels over the door pulls. Otherwise I find that the Escaine picks up loads of dirt off my hands or gloves.

If I have anybody else work on my car, you can damned well bet that I'm double checking for the towels. They've usually got dirty fingerprints on them afterwards.

Really, cash, something Randy said cannot be stressed enough: don't scrub. You will quickly do irreparable damage.

What's the fun of having such a cool car if you can't pick up dirty chicks?

No dear, I'm not saying anything bad to the SVX guys . . . no . . . don't read over my shoulder . . . <THWACK!> . . . OUCH! Yes dear, I'll delete that sexist message immediately, dear. No problem, I'll be right there to dry the dishes, just as soon as I delete this sexiest post.
