Default Is silver alcantara hard to keep clean?

Close to buying a black with silver alcantara, but I have a 5 year old son. Needless to say, it's hard to keep cars clean with a 5 year old. I had an '01 with blue alcantara and didn't have any problems, but silver looks like it might not wear as well.

Default Re: Is silver alcantara hard to keep clean?

I've had Silver Alcantara for 5 weeks and my 2 kids so for have spilled ice cream -came right out, diet coke-came right out , and a ketchup coated chicken Mc nugget-came right out.
I'm impressed with it, but not the eating habits of my kids.

Default Not hard at all

But then again, I don't let adults eat in the car, and I don't let kids in the car at all!

Problem solved - silver alcantara stays clean!
