Question Cleaning Suede....

I have an 06 GXP and was wondering what i could do to clean up the suede a little bit? It doesn't look bad, i just hate cleaning the rest of the seat and not getting to treat the suede. Any recommendations on cleaner and conditioner would be greatly appreciated.

Use a spray bottle and mix distilled water and isopropyl alcohol ( 80/20 ratio ) for just light cleaning . Mist it on , dont soak it and brush it with a soft brush . Have another bottle with just distilled water to rinse . Mist on the water , brush again . Let it dry then brush it when it dry . You can also use a mild soap with water instead of the alcohol . Its not a real suede , its a synthetic microsuede like Alcantara , so it is completely washable and able to get wet . Given that , dont use any kind of suede protectant or products aimed for cleaning and conditioning suede....as they definately wont work as intended .
