Suede Seats

[06CivicSi]

What do i need in order to take care of my suede seats. I have looked all over the place and all i can find is a bursh and some cleaner... no conditioner. I am going to place a pretty big order tonight and was going to try some products on them.
Thanks!!!

Careful! You can do more harm than good by using a leather product on your suede seats.

Suede seats, huh? That's very rare. Conolly Hide care would be a good choice. What kind of car is it for anyway?

Connolly Hide Care is not for use on suede according to AutoAnything.com. I had to look on several websites before I found that warning. I'm surprised Autogeek doesn't have that on their website.

I still wonder what kind of car is that for anyway?

The seats could be aftermarket. Suede is not a very durable material so it's more likely that he's talking about Alcantra seats that look and feel like suede. Several cars come with Alcantra from the factory and several aftermarket seats use it as well.

no, they came stock in my new civic si. i might just get some aftermarket ones and cover them in black leather if i cant find anything to keep the suede up. i like leather better anyway.

I have suede seats in my Cobra (mustang). I found an excellent product(s) for both cleaning and protecting. It is Leather Master Nubuck Leather Cleaner and Nubuck Leather Protector. Note that Nubuck is another name for suede. The cleaner works wonders and the protector makes the seats as waterproof as a rubber dingy on a quiet pond. Spills just roll right off (I reference a certain ketchup incident involving my 5 year old). I'm sure you can google Leather Master for links. I got mine from another auto detailing site.

dealer told me to go to Classic Car Care(local detailer) and ask them. I did and all they knew was to brush it.

the seats on the si are nothing like leather there a cloth material

:iagree: This will be a good choice since he already has a car with suede seats, and found excellent products for them.
