Snoops: I've done exactly 2025 miles and I have no wear as yet.
Do you have any idea why this has happened? Do you wear a jean jacket? Anyway, the seats should be harder wearing.
Is there any wear on the seat squabs?

No ware anywere else just that bolster. All i can think is the heavy duty premium 100% long sleeved cotton polo type shirts i ware if im weld testing prototypes at work, as the shirts are quite ruff to the touch may be doing it.

That must be it.
You can get an battery operated appliance :evil: which removes this sort of fluff from sweaters from John Lewis or similar shops.
It's called a Cordless fabric Shaver and costs £6.50 from John Lewis. Works a treat on wooly jumpers!
No I am not a housewife, just partucular! :grin:

Cellotape then or ducktape should do the trick.

I always cover that part of the seat over with my hand everytime I go in or out of the car. So far no ware that I can see.

Nothing on mine yet, about 2100 miles and a variety of jeans, trousers, shirts etc. I had the Lifeshine which included interior treatment, maybe this helps to reduce the wear as well as making them easier to clean? [Not that I let mine get dirty in the first place mind]
