I use an Oral B toothbrush on my 991.2 alcantara wheel (Sonax is a must) - much easier to get into the hard to reach areas. 9/10 obsessed people recommended.
I just wear gloves like a douche....but it is annoying.
I have a alcantara steering wheel in my M2, roughly one year now. I brush it every two to three weeks with a small clothbrush. Approx twice the size of a toothbrush. So i can reach the tight spaces. Every couple of months i use alcantara cleaner. It still looks brand new. I regularly use the vacuumcleaner with the little brush on the wheel too.
Always a ton of dust coming out...
Does it also contains white points as kind of dust? I want to go from a leather steering wheel to alcantara. But I am very doubtful about the alcantara 😁😬...
@@nicedronevideos3035, i think describing dead skinflakes as dust might be true actually. Anyways, if you are not prepared to regularly clean the alcantara, getting one might not be a good idea...i don’t mind it. Just a quick brush does most part of the job
Washes his hands before touching his alcantara steering wheel, but not after using the bathroom
Great advice! The sandpaper and boiling water does wonders for paint too! Adds a fresh layer!
Think this gentleman needs to learn to accept his wrongs and get better from the issues, he has a mindset that he thinks he always right.
29:40 so Matt just destroyed your Steering wheel and Gas gap hahahha
he fucked that steering wheel. definitely not the right brush. that was cringe.
The kids face when he realised the mans just ruined his steering wheel 🤣
I have an Alcantara wheel in my car . Almost 2 years old. All I do is clean it every 3 months and try an keep my hands clean before I drive. Still in really good shape.
Damn he messed up your steering wheel for sure! I mean, some ground rules apply when working with dinamica (yes, its NOT alcantara). First and foremost. EVEN with a badly smudged wheel like yours, its reparable, it just takes time and patience. ALWAYS and ONLY use a warm damp microfiber towel and a suede brush to clean the wheel. NEVER use a steamcleaner since the boiling water simply wil destroy the fibers and colour of the fibers, hence the staining:) FOR SURE never sandpaper your alcantara/dinamica interior lol, just use the suede (rubber) brush to pull out the dirt/flakes/dust/skin etc. Also try to use less chemicals, maybe just a fabric cleaner in a bucket of warm water to loossen the dirt/grime.
If you cleaned it properly the first time you wouldn’t have to sand and damage the wheel. There was clearly a lot of dirt left over that you didn’t extract causing the fibers to stick together. Just use the Sonax with far less steam and more use of a drying cloth and it’ll come out looking great.
If you look up angelus paint they a paint that matches the blue perfectly and you can tape it off and re paint with a small square brush. Their paint is designed for sneakers but it’s essentially a leather paint. I believe they even sell some sort of topper or clear to stop that from happening a again.
Hey Matt great video, really nice to help that guy out. Just got done listening to your podcast you were talking about labels for the pressol bottles I can’t wait to get some there is a round spot on the back of the head that would be a perfect spot for your hex logo you’ve probably already thought of this but just in case you didn’t have a good one.
So good to see christian from Vehicle virals had no idea he was in this video
Good Stuff Matt!!
Isn't alcantara designed to be used with driving gloves?
I'm not sure what the cost difference would be compared to getting a new wheel, but you might reach out to E3 Custom Interiors in Pompano Beach about getting it re-wrapped. They do fantastic leather and alcantara work.
Weeeeee got the funk
I just watched the latest Lederzentrum (colourlock) video, there Lars says that the grit of their Pad is about 200-300 but the important thing is to use a pad, NOT paper - so use low pressure.
I always thought brushes leave scratches on plastic and leather... So its always save to use?
Depends on the brush. There’s many horse hair brushes made specifically for cleaning leather
It Depends on the plastic and the leather, if the leather has no clear coat on it, and use a medium hard brush it will scratch it. If the leather has a clear coat, a medium brush or even magic eraser will be needed with low friction and pressure and checking after each pass
I have BMW Dakota leather... is it safe to use the same methode?
@@janv6311 Dakota is almost a vinyl, it wont scratch from a leather brush and it can take quite a beating. I wouldnt be worried at all with Dakota. It's Merino that you gotta be careful with.
Thanks for the help everyone, I ordered a cleaning set from Colourlock and im going to give it a try :)
My steering wheel has gotten alot worse since covid started. I don't think my skin likes the constant use of hand sanitizer and I now have to clean my wheel every several weeks.
same with my leather wheel
Hello anyone that’s reading this, what is the best air freshener for a car. Something that smells good and last.
I can’t think of a worse material to option a car with, that will repeatedly be touched than alcanplastic.
My 1 week old frozen BMW M8 has water spot etching marks and looking for a mild product to help remove the water spots. The dealership has been zero help.
Swissvax leather care is no longer available at OG? Have you made the transition to Colourlock exclusively now or has the Swissvax stuff been difficult to get? I know some of the products is made by Colourlock for Swissvax - just curious. Thanks for the great content!
I know nothing about this but the logic is all wrong. Lets spray cleaner then use hot water/steam and then use a towel to move and squish the dirt back into the fabric?
Just doesn’t make sense to me?
hey matt and anyone that reads this. i just wana know am i wasting time or does what im doing make a difference.. so when im washing my car 2 bucket method. i use both buckets filled with semi hot water.. not burning hot but hot to washing. i feel the warm hot soapy water helps to lift of the harder contaminants. hasnt anyone else tried this? just like using hot steam theres a reason why it works right??
greasy cheezeburger eater owns an m5
Hey Matteo, is this steamer available in your store? I cant find it
What is the process for the 6 monthly alcantara clean?
After using the Sonax cleaner on my steering wheel I used a electric sweater de- fuzzer to shave the wheel down.
Also mechanics oil change hands!!! Should market some hard to remove steering wheel covers for when you take car in to shops gor service lil
Perfect timing on this video, I'm soon going to be buying a car that often had alcantara steering wheels optioned on them
I’ve watched a few videos on cleaning and restoring alcantera and this has gotta be the worst method I’ve seen.
You can definitely do this without removing a bunch of material.
…Sanding?? Ffs 😂😂
This is how you do it. Once it is matted, you have to sand the clumped and tangled fibers. You might want to Google who you are watching. I’m the guy.
@@ObsessedGarage “I’m the guy” okay bud. 😂
I’ve seen people almost completely restore an Alcantara wheel with almost no lost material. It’s not that hard.
Hey Matt, are there gonna be any testing on the arblue 610? It is way way cheaper than the 630 in my country, would love to see it get tested 😍
Hey happy to see u doing your thing matt been gone for a min .Can i send u my bmw form VA Dude it needs you .
Matte paint & alcantera = super stress for Matt...
Great series,learning a lot,I have a matte M3.
Can we get a video on what's inside of a Ryobi pressure washer?
Water
What was the sanding sponge that was used on the alcantara? All the sponges I have (for body work) have grits on them.

Thanks Obsessed Captain 👊🏼
Is the steam filtered?!
Not sure if this answers your question, but you should only use distilled water in a steamer.
@@scottmattern482 it was joke, if you listen to the last couple podcast episodes you’ll understand
@@henrycollins2478 thanks!
I just use DI water, 0 TDS should be just as good.
@@johnwalters878 I was making a joke, if you listen to the last couple podcast episodes you’ll understand
Looks good!
OMG! Noooooooooooo! Go back to writing on cave walls, that's not the most correct cleaning method. You do know it's perfectly acceptable to say that you don't know enough about this to make a decision? Just stop!
That car had way more love marks on it when it left than when It arrived. Why are they using brushes everywhere? Jesus.
Clean it and get some sparco arrows.
It’s oil from your hands
