SR owners -- How well is the alcantera wearing?

To the early adopters of folks with the SR model,

How is the alcantera holding up from a wear perspective on the interior of your SR? Love the look/feel but concerned that it might not stand the test of time as opposed to regular leather.

25k here and no problems so far. I even scotch guarded the Alacantara on the seats and the steering wheel. Makes it super easy to clean. I have the camel interior as well.

Part of the advantage of Alcantara is its resilience to break down. Its a durable material. 10K no sign of wear for me.

I'm up to nearly 23k with no signs of wear either. I have the camel interior also. Nissan did great with the interior, no matter what trim level!

at 55k. not much wear, even on the steering wheel. but, i tend to not wrap my sweaty hands on the alcantara too much.
the seat looks new. it handles my *** pretty well, too.

im at 20k and 1 year 3 months and no issues with wear at all. However, I am very **** about keeping my car clean, so it really doesn't get abused.

What products are recommended for maintaining and cleaning the alcantara portions of the interior?

On my GT-R I literally just used a wet rag (water). It's tough to find a good cleaning product that itself won't damage or deteriorate the alcantara.
