Saw a Lotus SUV this afternoon. Didn’t know they had fallen so far. Incompetent driver, judged by their piloting - jumping at shadows, riding the brakes, asleep at intersections.

Short terrier hair, thoroughly “woven” over many years into the surface of a ute rear wall carpet. It’s a real pain to remove.

Have been reading about the Lilly Brush which apparently tackles this well, but don’t have time to acquire one for this job.

Had a Detailer do one of our roof linings to remove dog hair, with a blade thingy that worked well.
Was time consuming though.

Lily Brush will work very well, I'd also consider these, anything from Detail Factory is super ergonomic -

I used to use one of those to deal with lint balling on the vulgar-lour fabric Ford was using in BA-BF Falcon's.

This is nothing new, and it doesn't matter what time. Whenever i go to the shop to do the weekly groceries it takes 10 to 15 minutes to find a park as the car park is always packed. Yet i man shop so no browsing in colesworths, i know the row in the isle of what i want so maybe 20 to 25 minutes max, go to the self serve checkout, card only ones, get a bit miffed at why the thing says card only to start then asks how would you like to pay when you want to pay and funnily enough, i always select card as thats the 1 option. Then the thing prints out a receipt as long as my arm even though it should be maybe 4 inches. But go back to the car and car park is empty. It doesn't matter what time i attempt this. Always the same. Rock up, packed car park, ages to find a person backing out (that too, who fronts into spots) back into said spot far away. 25 minutes later come out to a plethera of spots everywhere.

Simple solution, when you feel you need to shop... Wait 25 mins and you'll be sweet as a nut.

The alternative is that you are in a Truman Show-esque nightmare and it matters naught what you do.

Cheers, Tony

Just one of the many reasons why I order my groceries.
