Dog hair

[Astro1972]

I have a car coming up that is caked with dog hair. I'm no rookie at detailing but even I'm worried about this job. I would love any secrets or tricks that I may not know. Any and all comments will be helpful. Thanks Astro

Go get a pumice stone. They actually sell them online at 3x the price and label it "dog hair remover". What you are going to do is use it as a brush and it pulls the dog hair out of the fibers and gathers it into a pile. Then just go over it with your shop vac.
I once spent 5 hours vacuuming a scion that had dog hair embedded in the fibers. I used a brush, packing tape etc... and nothing worked. I wish I woulda figured out this trick before I started working on it.

If you don't have a rubber bristled brush, you can use your hand and a nitrile glove (or any rubbery type glove for that matter) and scoop the hair into a pile to be vacuumed up. You'll be surprised how well this works.

Place your extended hand palm down and move it in an oscillating motion like you would when waxing. The hair will eventually work it's way into a ball and can be sucked up very easily.

For fabric carpet and mats- After you are done vacuming grab some duct tape and wrap some around your hand like a lint brush.

I use a stiff bristled lint brush, and for the hard to get areas I use some clear packing tape

Thanks guys I'll try them all. I dreaded the idea of five hours vacuuming a jeep lol. Keep them coming.

I need to second the rubber bristled brush, I use one for dog hair and love it.

Rubber dish gloves work awesome, that's what I use to get my dog's hair out of interior and in the house.

This idea is from a detailer in GA. I've used it, but can't remember the exact ratio so I'll give one that I'm fairly sure will work. Dilute liquid fabric softener 8:1; very light mist to break static hold; sweep to a pile with a nitrile glove; shop vac.
