Default Cleaning GS-F

New GS-F Owner here......

What do you guys use to keep the exhaust cleaned and shiny? I tried using Sonax Fallout and its still not as clean as I would like.

Also, what methods are you using for the Alcantara on the interior? Brush or just microfiber?

I use Adam's chrome polish, not much scrubbing required and does a great job.

Can't help you on the Alcantara... never had to clean any.

Alcantara, you just clean it like suede. Use a gentle brush if you get something crusty on it. Never use chemicals on it. It's not a natural material but you can still stain it.

To clean the chrome exhaust, just use a regular metal polish, doing it regularly will maintain it. But Adams metal polish is great too. The Alcantara, I have had good result on the Sonax alacantara cleaner when I was cleaning the alcantara seats and jpm alcanatara products from my Old sti.
