Hello,

My name is Dave. I'm relatively new here, I've been poking around a bit & I just purchased ZAHANMA'S Car. Unfortunately, during shipping, it received some light damage that is going to be fixed. While I wait for their insurance guy to come take a look at the damage, I haven't insured/ payed taxes/ plated it yet. Needless to say, I haven't driven it much yet.

I've been very ansy, cleaning the interior to like new condition. While I was in there, I noticed that on the Alcantara on the drivers seat, there were what appeared to be similar to the little ***** of lint or "pills' you get on synthetic clothing such as polyester sweatpants. They can be seen in these images.






Kinda hard to tell but they are there. So I used what I use on my polyester sweatpants, a fabric shaver. Basically a single wheeled face shaver they rotates, grabs and cuts the lint ***** "pills" off. Made by remington. Cost maybe $5 at the most. they have nicer and larger ones as well.




Using small circular motions, I began shaving away at the pills. 5 minutes later you're left with something like this.





Here is whats was removed. It only removed the pills and left the fabric intact and smooth like new.

Again, hello and I hope this helps someone out with the same problem.


Dave

 

I like that, in fact I like it a lot. I think I will buy the company.

BBC News | UK | I liked the slogan so much...

 

OK Victor!

 

There are days....lol Nice to know I can shave my seats when the time comes... What damage was sustained on shipment? I am curious....that's all, and I failed to intercept the transport...to remove a few items...lol

 

Lol they ripped off the spoiler & scraped the bumper and side ground effects

 

Wow, that really stinks, I hope everything gets sorted out.

I ad no idea Matt was selling his car. It was the first SRT I went down the 1/4 mile in...

 

What brand shaving cream did you use.....and did you use aftershave?

 

definately gotta go with he five blader. maybe ill shave a mohawk iin there.

 

fun fact: the rear spoiler is $1400 primered from the dealer. = dont break yours

 

Geez, at these prices it's money-wise to part out your srt and purchase one with all the mods a d lower mileage!

 

Save the shavings and make a pill box hat!

 

ill leave that to you. ill mail it to you free of charge. PM me your address

 

I guess it was worth the trip for me to drive 16 hr round trip to pick up mr photomans car.
I made it back with no damage. It was a little tricky getting it onto the trailer without messing up the front bumper.
Good luck with your new ride and thanks for the tip.

 

I stumbled upon this thread and it covered my problem on my SRT seat cushion, so I purchased a pill shaver from Amazon and a day later the pills were gone. I can now see the little hole pattern over the whole seat cushion.
