[rickymh]

both seats have lint balls/rolls on the suede part of my seats.
any ideas how to remove them?

Specific cleaner for suede..

I used woolight carpet cleaner on mine made a huge difference. I've heard that you can drag a razor blade over the rolls and shave them off. Dont know if it works as mine has never had that problem.

I've done this on my Lightning and it worked great on the drivers side seat. Used a Mach III or something like that and was just real careful with it. Made the seat look new again.

EDIT: Also wanted to add that a diluted mix of Woolite works real good on the Alacantra along with some soft white towels.

Any suede products bring back that new smell?

Im not sure what to do with suede but a while back, dont ask me how but I got gum on the back of my shirt and got in the car. So now its all f**ked up I hate looking at it but I was scared to clean it thinking all ill do is make it worst

50/50 Woolite and water works wonders and is safe.

There is a document and cleaning directions right on the Alcantara website.

I used the suggested diluted woolite mixture and it worked really good. My driver seat had that fuzz looking crap too used a razor blade and very carefully shaved most of it off. Although its very time consuming it makes a big difference.

use some 2000 grit sand paper too... takes the balls out of the fabric..

 

[03SVTSnakeBite]

Gonna try that 2000 grit sand paper tomorrow

+1 For Tough stuff. It works great.

 

[jldecke]

2000 Grit sandpaper works wonders on the lint balls and 50/50 woolite and warm water works well for the cleaning. You can even use a stronger mix of woolite for more stubborn stains..

 

[Anabolic]

yeah use sand paper and then the cleaner to clean it..

 

[SVTDice]

Wouldnt it be better the other way around? A CLEANER And then the sand paper to make it fine?

Could you scotch guard them after cleaning?
