I'll just the pictures to the talking, BS walks.
Simple as could be, no need for anything fancy. And took 5 mins!!!
Just to let you know, I've never cleaned it. Coffee, blood, sweat, smoke and just about everything else... ewww!
Still has to dry, then I'll fluff it up. But the results are pretty good.

Wow that looks great! I can't really see it well, but did it make the suede rough or smooth? I'm looking for a cleaner for my seats and don't know what to use.

If you want the best stuff to use to clean your seats use foam magic you can find it online it is in a white can. I work at a car dealership and i see some nasty shit and are detailers get it out with this stuff i used it on my r and everything looks new again!!!

My armrest is almost like how yours was. I picked up some of that Woolite today....will give it a shot. :)

How much did you dilute it? Or just wing it? :P

From previous suede threads, I was under the impression you want to dilute it 50/50. Is that correct?

I just did mine last night.....looks brand new minus some fading in red stitch. Thanks Rob :!: Wish I could dunk my seats now :P

I was surprised how dirty it actually was. Wash water was brown by time I was finished :shock:

soaking it in hot water is the trick ;)

Whachu think about doing the same with the seat fabrics? Think it might shrink before you could put it back over the foam? I'm sure the seats are even dirtier than the armrest.

Take seats out of car, and use a hose on them. Hot/warm water on them but cold will work too.
I did mine before it got too cold outside ;)
No need to take the seats apart.
