My alcantara finally got some needed attention:
After reading lots of posts about using a sweater de-fuzzer and Mr. Clean's Magic Erasers, I decided to do some work on my interior. Here's some before pilly pics:

Then, after defuzzing and using the magic erasers (which, by the way, make lots of eraser crumbs all over the place, so glad the shop vac was handy!), it looks a lot better:

The magic erasers really picked up some dirt. I guess my passengers must have some nasty arms and elbows because that side was really grimy. Also, gave the leather sides some conditioning there too, so the wetness on the leather in the above pic was due to:

Also cleaned out the door jams, engine bay, trunk, etc. Tomorrow, I'll hit the wheels and exterior. Gotta find some time to get the summer wheels on too...but just thought I'd share my success w/ the erasers and de-fuzzer.

About the magic erasers...
They are squishy foam (not sure what you mean about drafting erasers though) and you just wet them with water and squeeze out the excess. Each box has 2 erasers in it and you can get them at Target, the grocery store, etc for like $2. The directions say they're good for multiple uses, but mine kind of deteriorated and tore a bit as I was cleaning with them.
