Re de-bobbling, I successfully used sandpaper on my last V70R. IIRC I used 800 grit, and went very very gently. With the V70R I had to make sure i didn't sand through the cross stitching, so the 850R should be a tad easier. Go over it gently, a panel at a time, and vacuum off the removed material, then assess if you need to go over it a bit more. Just be very gentle and avoid any creases (pull taut) and edges or else you could go right through the material.

Its a stressful job, but the seats look great afterwards.

I also did the sand paper worked a treat !

Just use a lint shaver and it will be perfect!
