Re: How to remove pet hair..
I use a Porter Cable and the white nylon carpet brush purchased from AG with great results.
White Standard Carpet Brush
If you set the machine speed too high, it might sling the pet hair around a bit, but that is kind of what you want. The hair settles back on top of the carpet which allows you to vacuum it off the surface. I usually can run the machine between 3-4, and it does great. It is a great time and muscle saver.
The only suggestion that I have is, you need to make sure the brush is rotating and not just oscillating. The oscillating motion will bring sand and loose dirt to the surface, but it won't usually dislodge the pet hair. I suppose the best imagery I can provide is that the rotation rapidly sweeps the carpet fibers and that motion pulls the hair from the fiber.
The other advantage to this method is that you are actually lifting quite a bit of embedded dirt at the same time. Carpets usually look much better after I vacuum thoroughly with this method.

Another vote for the rubber brush!
I use this every time I clean out our truck which we transport the hounds in. Brushing smalls areas into the nozzle of the shop vac works AWESOME for me

Two-inch masking tape! Or even six-inch. Duct Tape even works. Tear a strip off, apply it to the affected area, pull it off and wah lah, the hair is now on your tape. Simple and effective.

Works, but waaaaaaaaaaay too slow
+1 on the Cyclo brush on a DA, while wearing gloves that have rubber palms and fingers
If you choose the pumice stone, be careful as it will scratch plastics very easily

I use a rubber brush also.
A damp MF towel helps me also, along with air.

Re: How to remove pet hair..
rubber brush, cone nozzle on my B&D and for certain areas or materials, a sticky buddy. those things are amazing. if it gets full of crap, just a wipe with a soapy sponge and a rinse and it's refreshed.

Re: How to remove pet hair..
A "pet rock" it's basicly a pumice stone. Some guys use a grill brick. But any "rock" with big pours will do the job well, extremely well!
But don't touch anything but carpet and upholstery. it will damage everything else in the car!

Re: How to remove pet hair..
I use the rubber brush also but the key is to change directions when you are brushing. Not all the hair goes into the fabric at the same direction so you have to keep brushing around in a circle so you pull the hair out. I don't mean brushing in a circular motion just keep working around the seat or carpet. Kind of working as though you were looking at a clock and start from the middle and work towards all the numbers.
