hey guys. i have a question about cleanin up the interior of my trunk. i got my 97 a4 about 5 months ago. when i bought it, the car had a LOT, i mean a LOT of dog hair in the trunk! it was bad! i got a sticky roller from petland and that took of the majority of the hair, but there is still a lot remaining. any suggestions about what to do? do i need to take it to get shampoo'd or is there some product i can use to do it myself? thanks!

thats stuffs really just for stains though, wont help much for hair. if its bad just tka e some duct tape and wrap a piece around your fingers(sticky side out of course) and just kind of blot it. its the same idea as using the sticky roller except its duct tape, not that wussy lint paper

by the way- big sublime fan here

actually, i think i might post some pics to show you just how bad it is.. its not even just that there is hair all over the place, its literally embedded into the fabric! you'd think the car was used as a mobile pet store or something its so bad! i hope some tape will do the trick......

yea the tape is probably your best bet, if its really thick you can usually rub the hair with your ifngers and get a clump going and most of it will cokme up then you go through with something sticky to get the rest

almost 5 months now... i know i'm a procrastinator. but i tried to get it before, most of it is gone, so the pics wont look as bad! but believe me, if i had taken pics before i tried to clean it, the sh*t would have been X-rated..
