    Maybe try Nolan autocare in bluebell. I know they do this work and are top class.

    Id recommend renting a steam cleaner.

    This is exactly what i did when i bought an Msport set of ebay a few years ago.

    Cleaned them top to bottom with it.

    Rented from A-Hire as far as i recall.

    only 30 Euro for the day and the dirt that it removed was crazy.

    Afterwards you can use one of those 'deboblisers' that is used on clothes to remove the worn look off it.

    There are specific Alcantara cleaners out there...for example Autobrite make one.

    For seats, they steam cleaner is a good option, but not always ideal for small bits on interior trim or steering wheels! A combo of both on seats would probably do a very good job! As said, afterwards to give it the best look, remove the bobbles...you can get one of those battery operated ones mentioned above or a regular shaving razor can be used also.

    Which service would they not do? Cleaning?
    Because they certainly do repairs...they did a seat for a mate of mine and it was a top notch job...removed a bolster from the side one seat, match was perfect, and the seats were old enough!

    I assumed you'd want repair rather than clean.
