Default A Close Shave For The Seats

I decided to give my bobbly Alcantara drivers seat squab a short back and sides today with a Bic Razor

Before:




and after about 30 mins of work shaving in all directions...





A huge improvement. They say that the Remmington Fuzz Away is also very effective for this sort of thing. Now something for the weekend sir?

I used a JML "Bobble Off" on Ed the Zed's seats, with excellent results!

I attacked mine with the same thing. Took a fair few goes over to get it all looking smooth, fortunately it was only the drivers seat that was bad and i'd managed to get a new replacement seat cushion.
