The seat was completely dry, actually. To my knowledge the seat never got wet. I think that the car became a greenhouse under the sun with the cover on, and some spores probably got on the seat and that's that.

I appreciate the info though.

I don't think that sparco would have problems getting the correct alcantara cuts due to th fact that they produce this seat covered in alcantara.

They said that the chemicals they were using were based on orange oil, not harsh solvents.

But, in the end, it wasn't the chemicals that ruined it, it was the steam cleaning, which is said to be a no no by the manufacturer of the alcantara. As I said above, I told them that, but they insisted that they had experience with it. I believed him because of this company's affiliation with a local Porsche dealership. They also work with a Lambo, Ferrari, Aston Martin, bentley, etc. Set of dealers. And I know for a fact that all of these manufacturers use alcantara in their interiors.
