PREWARNING - THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WORKED FOR ME AND I URGE YOU --- TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU DAMAGING YOUR SEATS. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL.
Hi guys, i'm guessing many of you have worn out Alcantara seats, with a few 'shiny' patches and it looks like your seats are just old and tatty.... well....
They can be fixed, all it takes is
A- Patience
B- A fine brush (suede brush and for really tough bits a soft nylon brush and for REALLY tough bits a brass brush)
C- Woolite, bucket and some towels.
For the Centre cloth parts, follow this thread: http://honda-tech.com/acura-integra...r-seats-jdm-yellow-goodness-inside-=-1850276/
That will bring up your red seats lovely (iv'e done it today it works!).
For the Alcantara, heres a before:
After:
To achieve this i literally just used the fine suede brush in circles, sometimes with a very tiny amount of water on a slightly damp towel. (literally like a dab of water)
It took me ALL DAY to do about 6-7 patches of this worn down alcantara and the entire armrest, wash the red with woolite, and vacuum the entire car.
Another before and after:
Notice the little patch closest to the bottom right corner. I actually have made this alot better with a drop of water and the brass brush. BE WARNED USED THE BRASS BRUSH VERY CAREFULLY IT WILL PULL THE FIBRES FROM YOUR ALCANTARA. USED CAREFULLY IT WILL BRING IT BACK.
Once you have done all this you may have some furry areas/bobbly areas..... Use a razor blade!! Literally like a gillette mach 3 or something and shave your seats like you would your face! (gently but not with shaving foam :'D)
Anyway, hope this helps some people out
Laters!
