I've heard shaving the Alcantara work's quite well. There's loads to vairious other car forums about it. I'm going to give that a go soon.

Recoloured the red 'Racing' on the seat backs today using Uni Posca marker pen bought especially for the task. Worked really well but a bit tricky with a medium tip. Would probably get a fine or extra fine for the edges if i have to do it again.

Alreet there,

My seats were bobbled to hell when I forst bought #014 last June - I used a lindt shaver, good 2-3 hours going over and they came up awesome :)

I think there's pics somewhere in my thread. I also used some vanish to dab the seats after id shaved them to bring any dirt off them :)

Worked a treat!!

I agree with Zara on cleaning, I used vanish oxyaction carpet cleaner on the steeringwheel and seat it came up great, but be careful to only dab it not rub it as you will end up with more bobbles.
