Ok I have a mass of dog hair in my car(pics soon) and I have hooverd the damn think bout 4 times and tried the stickiest of tape but it just won't come out and at this point I am seriously considering replacing the interior. Can anybody help me before I lose my mind. Who ever comes up with the solution I will love you forever :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: haha.

use a wire brush with the carpet as you vacuum (not on the back shelf)
try the megs pet hair remover brush or a wet rubber glove for the seats and back shelf
-
Get the hoover attachments for pet hair, they tend to work a charm ...

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Cud try masking tape. should do the trick :smiley:
-
should come with alot of grief from the hoover, you need to brush the hoover head in different directions over the hair!!! should come out. ive just got an audi a4 avant and it was full of dog and horse hair in the boot, 3/5 hours later most of it i managed to get out :smiley: the rest came out when i shampood it.

The carpet in the MkIIIs is a nightmare for dog hair,, particularly if its short hair like a terriers. Multidirection hoover nozzle doesn't do an awful lot. A rubber pet hair brush or a wire glove brush from the pet shop are good options.

We've got two cats and always struggled with pet hair around the house... Until we bought a Dyson. Cleaning the car is a doddle with a Dyson cylinder vac with the turbo brush attachment thingy.
A bit more expensive to buy, but you'll never look back.

My Vax came with one of those.
Does the job well.
It works just like a turbocharger.

Best thing I found was a wide roll of cheap sellotape. Unreel a length, cut it and place sticky side down on seats etc. and then lift off. Voila :grin:
-
henry all the way, you cant beat em, make sure youve got a fresh clean bag in and it will suck it all up

having same issue so covered mine with some ed hardy seat covers, just til i get some new interior, i have had 2 full valets and both have turned around and said 'im really sorry but i cant get the hair as its stuck in loops of carpet and won't come out seats' :angry:
but if u work in a vets go on ebay get some nice covers for while u work then u can jus stick em in wash when they get dirty!!

were these mobile valeters or were they just a bunch of guys in an empty petrol forecourt offering 'valeting'?
you should be able to get the hairs out of the carpet... wire brush as I said earlier will do the job. should also come out of the seats using a rubber brush/rubber gloves to build up static.
just spend an afternoon doing it yourself and be detailed and take your time. it will get there.
