Not something I have personal experience with, but there are apparently special Alcantara cleaners. I found one by Sonax, which is a good German brand, but there are other brands too. Hit it with that and a microfiber towel. Here’s a user review, looks good to me:

I had a discussion about this at work recently and I wonder how far unions would go to prevent this. Strong Unions like the Teamsters and UPS have a lot of truck driving employees to protect. Losing these jobs to automation would be pissing a lot of people off.
I don’t think your logic adds up. If the car doesn’t make power until the upper RPM range and the exhaust note is amazing, why would it be a shame that you have to wind out the car to get that power? To me it’s a good match. You should both want and be able to wind it out whenever there’s open road. That’s a match…
Unlike a smaller well designed sports engine like Honda’s K20/F20 or BMW’s S54, the Mustang is still a 5.2. Even if it makes all its power up top, it still makes about 2/3 of its maximum available torque at idle or near there (which happens to be around 280lb/ft, which is no small amount). It’s all relative. You’ll…
Nope. Plenty of power down low, but it just keeps pulling and pulling like no other American v8 I’ve driven. My best comparison was to an M3 v8 in terms of how it revs, but with torque down low. No way you get out of that car and say, gee that needs more torque.
That’s not true and an exaggeration. Unless you daily something with more power that’s turbo or supercharged you probably won’t feel like it’s slow. Also you can easily fix that”problem” with boltons and a tune
well...you don’t have to “hear” about it...data to disprove this is easily available, even in this article. scroll up, and see the GT350 dyno results. At 3500 rpm, you have basically all the torque available so your acceleration will be plenty. that’s not very high up in the rev range, only 44% of the way. the hp…
lol, yeah I didn’t do myself any favors by trying to correct ignorance with even more ignorance. I think I’ll just lurk through the comments for the rest of today...
Amateurs. I’m sure the Nigerian royalty would be more than willing to provide an introductory course to scamming, for just a few dollars sent through Western Union.
And sometimes the salesman accidentally talks shit to your face.
See, you should have a shortcode on your computer that let’s you just access it automatically, instead of manually searching for it...but that’s none of my business.
As an engineer, this is a very, very disturbing precedent.

Call me crazy, but I think his last several Gymkhana videos were just over the top hollywood style productions. A whole lot of flare. I prefer his far simpler video he did with his Subaru rally car that he took James May for a ride in.
Don’t settle for an imposter.
When keeping it real...goes wrong.
Came to say this and wish I could give you more stars. It really does look like they are set up, cameras and all, to film something more then a bunch of Foci drive slowly around a turn.
