The suede on the drivers side is lightly stained and the passenger side had gotten wet some time ago. When I got the car several years ago I did apply scotch guard to help prevent permanent stains. Please advise me on the proper products and methods to restore is as perfect as possible.
Thank you,
Steve

>>> The suede

Is the perforated central panel also “suede”.

Suede is the reverse side of smooth leather.

Nubuck is “velvet suede” that is napped from a smooth leather and the reverse side is “suede”.

Can you clarify “the suede” before I can advice further.

The perforated central section is the only "suede" part of the seats.
I have tried to track down what type it is with no luck. I contacted Recaro and they were absolutely no help.
All the forums are stating that it is microfiber synthetic suede, not real suede.

The only confirmation is to view the reverse side, do you like to give it a try?
