Hello All,
I have noticed a strange white powder that collects near the seat crack right at the seatbelt buckler. I appears to a plastic dust of sorts. It is only there if I haven't vacuumed in a while, which I am due for. Has anyone else noticed this and found out what it is and how to stop it. I'm thinking it must be a seatbelt related thing.

Sorry, I couldn't resist

Haven't noticed it on my car, just general dust in the creases.

 

Nice pull on the shampoo : ) I thought the white powder was a 80's thing

 

Ihave it too. It is coming out of the seams in my leather....not to be funny or anything, but it reminds me of balled up deodorant...

 

Did Woody Allen sneeze in your car lately?

 

Try not to drive across international borders without first vacuuming.

 

anthrax

 

seriously. do you wear roll on deoderant. i do and i get the same powder from it on my seats. if you wear it too then there is your answer. its falling through your shirt and landing on your seats. im serious.

 

LOL this is the most CLASSIC thread I've ever read!


It IS your deodorant.

Or, you could take it to the dealer and for once when they say "they all do that" -- they'll be right!!

Just get a vacuum that has the crevice attachment and -poof- it's gone! Or, wear long-sleeved shirts. :smile:

Cheers!

 

LOL!!! Annie Hall is one of my favorite movies!!

 

It must be the deodorant because I never use any and I never get that white powdery stuff on my seats

 

I don't use deoderant, hate the stuff, makes me itch. No white powder on my seats. But then I dust the car at least once a week. Lots of gravel roads around here.

Ok, now you can all start ribbing MGear and me

 

Too many powder sugar donuts during the morning drive to work!

 

It is definately deodarant. I was puzzled for months until I did the grossest thing ever... I tasted it... EEEEEEW.

LOL

 

classic!!!

 

is usually altoid dust..

 

Lmao.........that is too good

 

Remind me not to get too close

The deodorant theory does sound pretty good, however.I'll have to check my seats since I DO use it

Is your car a MINI or a DeLorean?

 

If you use deoderant that doesn't say, "antiperspirant" it won't make you itch. It's the aluminum hyro..something or other that makes you itch. Also, the aluminum can cause lost of memory and other signs of premature aging. Try Old Spice Classic Deoderant.

 

Switch from chalky stick to a gel!

 

I use talcum powder. Now will you give me a hug:smile:

Back to the deodorant therory. The original poster said it was around the seatbelt buckle. Does shifting shake the powder loose

 

I use a gel. No white powder for me!

 

Not really, if you push on the seats more will come out.....

 

The theory is that alzheimer's may be caused by the brain's barrier to aluminum breaking down. As there is a lot more aluminum in foods like a potato than you'd get using topical underarm deodorant, deodorant is probably perfectly safe to use.
