A good technique for cleaning the sabelt wheel??

[KielT]

Basically my sabelt wheels is looking a little faded and could do with a spruce up. Any one got any good products and techniques to revive it?

Thanks.

Yeah it's like an Alcantra/flock material. Just wanna bring the blue back bright and not make feel as smooth. Have you used that stuff?

Generally alcantara is a pitta to keep maintained. Basically to clean you need a very mild interior type product without soap content, and a stiff brush. Small amounts misted on and brushed in Circular motions. Use a microfibre cloth to remove and dry. Generally if it's to far gone or stained etc it cannot be revived all that well. That said, Ive got a sabelt wheel that's mega Mank on my clio. I've also got raceglaze alcantara cleaner in m arsenal and in the next couple of days I will give it a bash and post up the results!

Yeah if you could mate, then I'll do what you do if it works such a great wheel and I don't wanna have to get a new one just cause its abit dead now.

Ok dude will do. There is a couple of other options, retrim in either suede/alcantara or leather and would be cheaper than a new sabelt!
