What's the best treatment for (Alcantara) Suede seats, to clean and preserve?

If they're starting to bobble, get the razor out, and give them a shave (I kid you not!)

are they bobbled? if so use a razor to shave them (no joke) or get a jml bobble off clothes shaver from argos and use that. I'm sure just water and soap work as long as your dry it, thats the problem grey always looks dirty...

I've regularly used Clarks suede/nubuck leather cleaner with no ill effects. Personally think it works well. Comes in a 200ml spray bottle.
