Leather / Alcantara + Razor

Post by dubber36 »

If you've got leather and alcantara seats, then the chances are that the drivers seat is looking a bit scruffy.

Mine started to look untidy at less than 20k, and now at 50k I thought it was time to do something about it. Someone on here had sugested shaving it with a razor, so I thought I'll give it a go. You dont think twice about dragging one across your face, so I shouldn't do the seat any harm.

Anyhow. I gave it a go with a Gillette Mach 2, and it works. It takes a while, and the razor gets clogged up (bit like when my Mrs borrows it) but I now have a drivers seat that looks as good as new.

I did take some pics, but the really didn't do the job any justice so I didn't post em up.
