I've had good results using Turtlewax Powerout foam cleaner. Basically spray it on, rub in with a cloth, then wipe dry. Tuff Stuff also works good but it doesn't smell as nice.

Also, the seats arent real suade so the shoe cleaners may not be a a good idea.

Tutlewax also makes a velour seat cleaner. It's a spray on foam. Spray it on. Let it sit for a couple of seconds, then wipe it up with a clean rag. It should do the job for you.

And no, the R models do not have real suede. It's a synthetic material.

Maybe some DILUTED carpet cleaner or just some cloth seat cleaner?

Bringing back an old thread. I used the Turtle Wax power out foam upholstery cleaner on my R1 seats. It works good. Happy with the results.
