It’s safe to say that most of us with Tourings are are somewhat apprehensive over keeping the synthetic suede clean and looking new, especially those of us with the beige.
While I have treated it with Scotchguard, there will be the inevitable stain and Honda offers scant advise on cleaning.
We know that the suede is a synthetic product but not exactly what brand it is. So the speculation is that it’s the same or close to Alcantara.
So here is a link to the official Alcantara website which lists recommended cleaning products and procedures to use on specific types of stains and dirt.

Hope you never have to use this but it’s a great source of info to have.
I found this after reading a review of the MS Surface laptop that has Alcantara on the keyboard right where the oils and dirt from your hands will eventually build up. And I thought suede on a car dash and doors was the stupidest idea; no it’s in second place.
