Nice find regardless of cig burns...

Leather or cloth seats?

EDIT: Whoops I just read your last post. Cloth, I'm assuming. Lets see pics of your repair job when you get finished.

I suggest you call your local dealer and get the name of the guy they use to do seat repairs. Unfortunately I had a screwdrive in my back pocket and sat down in my drivers seat....a day later I noticed a nice hole in the seat! My dealer gave me the name of the guy they use, he came over and did a nice job fixing the hole. Cost me $50 but well worth it versus what I could have done. He matched the color perfectly.

This is gross, so the weak-stomached should ignore

I got my brand new Shinka Saturday, and as I was kneeling on the front seat to help buckle in my three-year old, the sore on my knee hurt a bit. I'd scraped it three days ago and it was pretty much scabbed over, but somehow I re-opened the wound as I was screwing around on the seat.

So now I have a nice spot of pus and blood on my two-day-old Alacantra seats

That is nasty. Surley there is something that would take out the stain. Maybe contact the crews that clean up crime scene cars of something.

my cat's cornhole was bleeding for some reason, and i could tell he had been sitting on top of my toilet, if you understand what i mean.

The funny thing is, had I simply mentioned blood, no one would have freaked out.

But I've found that the word "pus" tends to elicit a negative reaction.

Anyway, all is well now as I used just a touch of Resolve carpet cleaner on a damp cloth. So the Shinka is good as new.

Now, if I could just get the bloody body of that homeless guy I ran over off of my back axle, things would be perfect
