what cleaners do you use or cleaning tactics for stains on the red alcantara seats?
I was recommended to use this but wanted to see what others have had success with.

That cleaner along with a soft toothbrush (for spot cleaning) and microfiber towel (for dabbing) is the best stuff you can use. Alcantara is synthetic so you should also be safe using any gentle fabric/upholstery cleaner, just try it on an inconspicuous area first if you do.

Even better, treat your seats (and wheel if MY2020+) with something like gtechniq i1 Smart Fabric and it will prevent dirt, sweat, etc. from sticking to the seats as well as make them far easier to clean. Also protects against spills and dye transfer from dark jeans. Lasts about 4-6 months depending on wear. Every inch of Alcantara in my car is covered in that stuff and it does not change the color or feel of the CTR's Alcantara.
