Supposedly you can refurbish Alcantara with a brush and mild soapy water. I didn't try that and mine is probably too late to make a difference. Maybe if you keep at it early and often it will stay like new. Not trying to discourage you from doing it, just letting you know the downside of Alcantara. $150 sounds like a good deal. I paid $225 to have an upholsterer sew the leather I provided him on a 928 wheel.
