Question about MicroSurde inserts

Anyone have the micro suede inserts on seats and steering and can say how they appear after 20k or 30k miles on the car? Any problems keeping clean or looking worn or ugly or such? Lookin ahead to the next one here and I actually ended up putting more miles on my current than I had expected. And I have grubby paws. Thx.

Sonax makes a great cleaner, I use on my V2.

I had it on my Mercedes seats, 4 years 40,000 miles and the alcantara looked brand new (as did the entire car) when I returned the vehicle.

Suede inserts on the seat, shifter and steering wheel, and 33,000 miles. No visible wear. Have the same on my CTS-V with 63,000 miles and they look new. Sonax cleaner does help as noted above.

I removed the steering wheel and shifter and replaced with Caravaggio stuff, but the seats inserts look new after a few years, have it on the center of the seats on my hellcat too and they look new after 2 years and the car is a daily driver. They have held up much better that I thought they would, so much so I would get it again

The seats wear like iron, in fact I've heard from several fabric people that the microfiber is the most robust material that they have according to the "rub" testing?

Get a bottle of the Sonax foam cleaner and a brush for your steering wheel. 2-3 times a year and it stays pretty nice.
