arvinz, I haven't had any problems with the Alcantara. I usually use a horse brush to get the dust off and then vacuum in the crevices. That's all the maintenance I've been doing. My understanding is that
you can run a slightly damp cloth over it to wipe it down, but I've never done that. I think the seat is slightly more protected from oils (versus your steering wheel) and don't pick up dirt as much. The picture I posted above is with the seats being over a year old. And maybe a little over 5k miles driven on it. I've only dusted and vacuumed it. I've never actually wiped it down, lol.
