Piqué is only fitted to 9-3 base models, and it's slightly less plush and has a different pattern; S and SE have luxury velour. >You mentioned that you have your cars washed and vacuumed.

I have had to >use a wet cloth and/or a miracle brush to get the particulate matter ("pencil >eraser" stuff) off the seats. > Sorry, what I wrote wasn't terribly clear. The exterior is washed, the interior vacuumed, including the seats if they have any bits of stuff on them. But when we service a car, it receives a free courtesy wash and vacuum, and I asked our cleaner today if he has ever had a problem with fabric deposits on seats. He said he hasn't, and some of the cars he cleans probably never get cleaned inside between their annual services :-) You should see the state of them. >Anyway, thank you for your response. I would like to know about the other >fabric and the washing if it's not a trade or family secret! ;) > You can buy wet upholstery cleaner at any motorist's shop, and Saab themselves probably market one as an accessory; it's no secret. Most valeting shops use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment which sprays the cleaner onto the seat, and then the vacuum parts sucks the moisture out of the seat again. But it sounds to me like this is not the answer to your problem. -- Regards Leroy Curtis Please replace "nospam" with "baram" in my address if you wish to reply by Email
