Bobbling Alcantara Fix

[kpowell911]

Hi, I know this isnt for a Clio, but Im guessing my seats are the same sorta material as 182 seats.

The interior of my 6 year old Civic is in pretty good condition, but one thing that lets it down is the Alcantara on the passenger side bolster is a little bobbly. Bizarrely, the drivers seat is fine, So Im guessing one of the previous owners had a fat mrs Only joking.

Heres a rough pic of it,

Anyway to improve it?

Thanks

Razor blade as in use a Gillete Fusion thing an actual blade??

Cheers!

Yeah or like a disposable razor will do.

I used a razor blade bare (no actual handle or owt) and just scraped the seat. A stanley blade will also do but make sure whatever you use is brand new!

Scrape in short motions and gather up all the fluff.

Works a treat!

Nice one Ill give it a go!

Id imagine that a single blade would be better as it won't get clogged up.

Ive been looking for something to sort my 'rough' seats for ages.. im off out to shave my seats at 20 past 7 in the morning. hope my neighbours dont see me!

 

[LiamR172]
