The umbrella hooks are LETHAL!!!

I swung my elbow back there to close the console lid and caught my funny bone on one and sliced it open like a Ginsu Knife (there was actually a hunk of skin stuck in it). BTW, does anyone know how to get blood stains out of Alcantara Suede???

I'm afraid to try anything too strong on it, as I'm not familiar with the properties of synthetic suede. Any help would be appreciated. There are only about 4-5 spots about the size of a marble...

 

The Alcantara web site (Italian) is unavailable due to remodeling, but I downloaded their PDF file for cleaning the fabric a few years ago. Send me a PM with your email address and I will forward the file to you. Other than their own proprietary product, which I was never able to find in the States, they seem to recommend using only COLD water for blood stains. Good luck.

 

Or you could just leave the stains there. Then hopefully on your next date she will notice the stains and ask about them. Imagine the look on her face when you tell her it's blood. She may think your dark and mysterious and be infatuated. Well, there's always the possibility that she may think you creepy and weird but hey, either way bet your evening will be memorable.

 

Well, I do keep a .45 in the console...

She can think what she wants.
