A lint shaver is the best bet imo. They work a treat

I'm going to assume it's made a big difference but you can't really tell from the pics.

Good work, but get some leather conditioner on those seats, they look dryer than a camel's tongue after a bit of carpet munching!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Done my leather with the Autoglym cream the other day. Brings it up a treat, but use it quite generously and make sure you buff it all off after a couple of minutes.

Spent today cleaning the outside of the car, using a different shampoo, again the Autoglmn stuff. Very impressed with the results but didnt get any pics for ou fellow detailers.
