From "emsltd" by any chance? I got one the same a couple of months ago,,,paid £28.50 for mine though,,,,so you got a better bargain than me.
It matches the carpets and seats in mine (cream), but can get a little dirty after a couple of weeks.
Anyone know of a product that cleans alcantara??

Maybe you could try putting it in the washing machine ?

The best thing to use on leather is saddle soap, this feeds the leather, keeps it flexible. Wax is best for protecting against the wet and giving a good shine. If you have dry hands you use hand cream not wax, it's the same for leather.

As for protecting your leathery knob......... http://www.lifestyles.com/

Kit comes with a couple of different gate tops and you specify red or blue when ordering. i wired mine into light circuit so it only illuminates when lilghts are on. one bit of advice is when you have fitted put some loctite on the grub screws to stop them coming undone. other than that I had to file a groove in the gaiter sleeve to hide the wire.
HTH
