I was told not to use any commercial cleaners or Armoral type of products on it, the same with the Alcantara, so time will tell.

The alcantara is nice and has not faded in the Texas sun so far, but my windows are tinted and I always use sun blockers in the windshield when I park, so time will also tell.

I do wish the //Mperformance stitching was not so big and loud, and have considered dying the white lettering grey to subdue it some, but it is no where near as loud as the giant red stripe and piano gloss interior it came with.. just not my thing.

Thanks for the info it's much appreciated. Sounds like it's the way to go. I have the sport line but lucked out and did not get the ugly red stripe but instead I have the black stripe with the brushed metal. I loved it at first but not as much anymore. Going to go go the mperformance int. thx
