Just got the 16 way seats from Jim Finn today, they are nice seats but they are dirty, Does anyone have any knowledge as to cleaning the suede bolsters without damaging them? I want to clean them before installing them. Any help will be appreciated. <BR>I am putting these seats in my 90 "Vert" will this hurt the value?

these seats are actually not suede, but (artificial) "ultrasuede". you might want to go to a shoe repair store, and ask them what they would recommend. my thoughts would run to some type of solvent, but the shoe guy would know best.
