Hello. The driver’s seat has been wearing out over the last two years. The suede is fraying at a rate exceeding the number zero.
I've been very mindful about not twisting or sliding around when I get it and out, but the wear continues to... uh, wear.
What can I do here? Do I just cut away these fraud with some fine shears, is there something I can do to add some durability, or is the Beginning of the End™?
Thank you. Fleet shot for your time.

Bed liner? POR-15? Zebra print seat covers? Apathy?

I’m not sure if it’s the ‘ right’ tool but an electric razor would be very satisfying to use on that

You should probably quit farting in the seats.

Especially after eating spicy food. Those acidic vapors are what’s doing it!

There are devices for trimming the pilling fabric off clothing, specifically spendy cashmere sweaters. That would probably do the trick quite well.

Seat covers are an option.

While I don’t have any advice on shaving it, I can say that when the end finally does come you should go see a local upholstery shop of your choice. Replacing those two panels with new suede is the kind of thing that will most likely cost a lot less money than you think, especially if you could live with material that may not be dead-nuts perfect match.
I see people do seat covers, break out needle and thread, ect..., do all kinds of stuff to solve upholstery problems/wear/tears instead of having a shop sew in a new panel or two on a seat. Good upholstery guys are neat to watch work. They’ll take of seat cover off, cut out the old panels, use them a template on the new material and sew it all back together and put it back on the foam. That kind of work has often cost me less than $100 to have done, even on leather seats. Being able to live with a less than perfect match on material and showing up with cash in hand also helps keep costs down . If you have to have a perfect match, there is often some lead time for the shop to order it, and there is a usually a minimum amount of material they have to order that will be far more than what’s needed for a new panel or two on a driver’s seat.
