What's the best way to clean, or defuzz, BMW door trim on the interior side? Rubbing my hand on it removes some but there's still a lot lft behind.

What do you use?

It is quite the PITA

Not sure i understand what you mean...

I have done "older" BMW's in the past..but if i think i know what you are talking about, i am not sure if that is supposed to come off..Isn't that the trim peeling?

Maybe try a rubber pet brush that has rubber bristles, masking tape, latex glove...that's all I have...

Yeah, the rubber brush sounds like a good idea. Should have tried a gloved hand on it.

It's the material that conected to the body all the way around the door frame except at the bottom. On the bottom there is plastic that is peeling, but that's the owners problem. I don't know how to describe the material type. It's almost like the suede lint brushes and has the same effect of collecting lint, but doesn't really want to release it.

Sorry, no pics at this time. 08 ^ 7 Series.

I know what you are talking about, but other than running a vacuum over it to remove the loose stuff, I would just leave it alone.

I havent done a BMW but I have had 3 2002 and up Camry's this week. What I needed to use (I normally would have busted out the pet hair brush) was a vacuum brush cut down to about 1/2 inch! It worked great and I think one of the cars previous owners went to or worked at a laundry mat cause the door cards were COVERED in lint.

I've seen soldiers take a razor (like one you shave your face with) to their berets and go over it lightly. Tedious, but their lids were fuzz-free.

I still get blown away every time I use my cheap pumice stone when I need to de-shed anything in a car. Who'd ever thunk a rock can be that effective on pet fur and lint.
