Question Cleaning Suede Door Panels

What products do you guys use to clean the suede door panels? I was thinking about using Ultima Interior shampoo, but would like some other alternatives as well. Thanks.

if its a stain that has been there you may be screwed if its new dont rub it try just using air if that dont work use soap and water pat and scrub soft then rub with a soft bristled brush while you spray with air i hae full yellow suede inserts and thats how i get all out key is to wait the least amount and dont rub once it happens and dont touch unles you absoulty have to

may sound silly, but try using an eraser. Like one of those you used to use in elementary school. (Thats how you clean suede boots)

Worth a shot....

I use the can of carpet and upholstery cleaner you can get at any wal-mart. Its a red can and has a plastic attachment at the head that you can use to scrub. Basically it foams up and you can just use the top to rub it in a little bit, I let it set for a minute or two, then I use a shop vac to pull the dirt and stains out. I had a bad stain on my ceiling and this really made a world a difference. Can't even tell it was there.
