Hi all
I've got extended racetex interior in my GT4 and looking for any experience or advice when it comes to cleaning it.
In particular the steering wheel, it's got a yellow 12 o'clock stripe but its some what dulled and a bit grubby looking (i'm blaming the previous owner...).
Anyone got any techniques for getting the best cleaning results? Just concious I dont want to mess it up!

Thanks :)
 
The steering wheel and gear knob are dead easy to clean up to "as new". I use a mild soapy solution e.g. liquid hand soap in warm water and a microfibre cloth to get all the dirt and oils out of the material. Use a dry microfibre cloth to remove the excess liquid then something non-abrasive like an old toothbrush to restore the pile and then let everything air dry. Job done.

Race-Tex and Alcantara are designed to be hard wearing materials and they can be restored to factory fresh condition with a regular clean :)
 
Thanks for this, that doesn’t sound too bad at all.

Toothbrush idea sounds good, sort of lightly scuff it to bring it back from being a bit flat. Appreciate the advice, will give it a go
