I've seen a few suede interiors suffering from this. Even some low mileage examples.

Do any of the detailers have any secrets they would be willing to share.

.

Was wondering whether it was to do with how it's cleaned. Does getting it wet cause this?

I used suede shoe cleaner on mine. Don't laugh

And for the discerning driver, you can buy a 'posh' designer clothes shaver: http://www.alessi.com/en/3/1866/elec...clothes-shaver Batteries included retailing at the pricey sum of £23

Ask me for details....

Keep one in the car at all times - something to do when waiting for the Other Half to come out of Tesco......

(pleased I have leather... Must find myself an electric leather buffer..........)
