My bottle of Screwfix No Nonense interior car cleaner is empty..they don't now do this product..

It worked a treat on the yellow. furry door cards on my E89s..

It was able to lift oil /grease /road dirt marks without damaging the look and feel of the finish..

Any recommendations?

I only ever use auto glym or auto finesse (quite expensive though) to be honest. Don't usually Tend to go with 'general' cleaning products..

Have not used it myself but have heard good things about Gyeon Interior Detailer, works on all interior surfaces including alcantara.

Thanks I’ve ordered this…was very impressed with the basic screw fix product…removed some oily marks with no obvious impact on the base alcantara door cards…

And the cheapest, most basic product is absolutely ideal for alcantara. That's all it needs. More expensive products may contain lanolin or other ingredients which are not suitable for this material. Alcantara was originally designed as an expensive and very hard-wearing material for marine use (on expensive yachts). The idea was that after all the dried-out salt water, sick, spilt wine, etc, needed to be cleaned off, you simply used a hose.

Ive always used a cheap APC from Aldi on suede/alcantara with good results, nothing too aggressive and brings out stains without damaging the fluff or pile if that's the description
