Does anybody know if the RC-F has Alcantara on the armrests, console,
etc or is it suede. I need to know how to clean it. Also, does anybody
know the best way to clean white stitching on my IS350. Thanks for all the help.

SONAX alcantara cleaner, and it works great. Amazon sells it. The material is alcantara, not suede. Suede ends up faiding after some time if exposed to too much sun. JPM Coachworks also sells Sonax. There are a few good vids on YouTube showing the results. I'd recommend also buying the bug sponge OR just use a soft bristle toothbrush.
Might seem pricey, but you only use a very small amount. Bottle should last you a long time.

Hey Johnny, for the alcantara bits in our cars you'll eventually have dirt or flattened out areas like the armrests and center console. The alcantara traps/absorbs grit and body oil. Sonax is just for those areas. For my seats I personally use Griots Garage leather care, but I'm sure there are plenty of other top quality leather treatment options. I had my steering wheel taken out and wrapped in alcantara with a 12 o'clock center band( just something I've done to all my cars). My Sparco gloves stick to it like glue. My steering wheel needs extra attention, so that's how I'm familiar with Sonax I also had the rear center console covered in alcantara..... I think that piece kinda looked cheap in just plain plastic
