What are you using to clean the softex?
Leather cleaner doesn't seem that great. Streaky. I searched the forum and came up empty. Any recommendations on what you're using to clean would be appreciated.

Silk Shine by Chemical Guys. Doesn’t have that shiny greasy look.

A mixture of Woolite and water works well, followed by Meguiars #40 or something similar for UV protection.

Alternatively, Meguiars D101 is a really good all purpose cleaner. Can dilute with water 4:1. Also follow up with something like Meguiars 40.

Water, if it’s more difficult then slightly soapy water.

I try to do this

I recently cleaned my 2018's seats according to the manual's instructions:

- Remove dirt and dust using a vacuum cleaner.

- Wipe it off with a soft cloth dampened with neutral detergent diluted
to approximately 1%.

- Wring out any excess water from the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and water.

Seemed to work great.

I've been using the Mothers VLR as well. Seems to do a good job, and I recently found out removes sunscreen quite well from interior plastics.

I use Meguiar's all purpose cleaner and dilute it down and use it for everything, and it last a long time.

Aerospace 303
Great for seats & dash without the high gloss shine and greasy residue.

Have you used the 303 a lot? It's my go-to for dashes and plastic but I haven't used it on Softex. Any discoloration?
