Use a micro fiber towel and blue coral carpet cleaner, leaves no lint, and smells great

No, my issue was getting the lint that has collected on the seats out. Not lint left over from my MF towels (which there wasnt any).

I figured out a method to get the lint out using the vacuum cleaner. I try to stay up on using the lint roller, but with how much I have been working I just didnt feel like it.

But I 303'd everything and vacuumed the interior/trunk so now its nice and clean. I was going to wash/wax it afterwards but a storm rolled through. The paint was too hot anyway, so Ill just wash it in the AM.
My cloth seats don't have any lint. There is some light wear showing up on the side bolsters and where my harness contacts in some places tho. It just looks like the fiber strands are a lil longer.

Mine are like some micro-suede type fabric. They didnt feel the same as yours.


I washed the car this morning and rolled it back into the garage so I can wax it. But its football time

Ill wax it this evening and if there is light, Ill take some pics. Otherwise it'll be tomorrow morning. I just realized that I never posted pics with the exhaust on the car

Sounds identical, minus drone (which the camera didnt even pick up)

Ill take some new videos in the morning though. Theres a slight chance of rain today so I've decided to leave it in the garage until the morning.

There was the driving video and a cold start video. Either way, I plan on recording a few in the morning before work.

That means they won't be posted until after work.

In the mean time - pretty paint is pretty:



Dont mind the blurriness. Its from my phone, and occasionally my phone tells me to go fuck myself

Dude...I logged on, and my avatar morphed....but I think it's cute.

How much lint can possibly come off your seats? Is it high-pile?!

Oh, someone else changed your avy. I feel left out, no one has ever changed mine. Theyve only deleted it



I hadn't detailed the interior in well over a month, and I was moving some stuff that left behind lint My seats are like velcro. But all is well for now

Yea Ive never had cloth seats before. My Civic had vinyl, 'cuz apparently that was cool in the '80s The Prelude and CL were both leather.

The seats arent as hot, and they hold me well. But keeping them clean sucks.

I love microsuede-type fabric in interiors. My gripe with most cloth seats is the static shock you get sometimes. If they get particularly dirty or are a little smelly, take a rug doctor to it.... don't think you can really do that to a leather seat.

I don't really like leather, maybe its just me. It's hot when it's hot out, cold when it's cold, sticks to your body on really hot days, tears fairly easily, shows wear more than cloth.... etc.

My favorite seats out of all the seats I've sat in have to be the 1G MS3's seats. So comfortable, supportive, classy looking (IMO) yet still sporty all at the same time.

I couldn't agree more. I do nothing but gripe about leather seats when I have them. My favorite seats I've had in any of my cars were the ones in my '04 Civic Si (EP3). They were black alcantra-like microsuede and they were so damn comfy. The cloth seats in my current MS6 are pretty nice IMO, too.

The EP3 seats were nice. I really liked my Prelude seats. They really held you in place.

I find that leather is easier to keep clean, but its not without its own drawbacks.

If, by that, you mean - makes me want to go rip my eyeballs out of my head with my bare hands, stomp on them until they are soupy-mush, and drink bleach until I can no longer remember that image - then, yes.

Would you prefer bears to be humping instead? How about mountain lions?

Do sloths hump slow? They are slow in general but do they speed it up during sexy time?

I guess we could just ask Austin. Oh wait, he hasn't done the dirty yet
