    Was going to buy a new carpet....

    But then I rented "The Rug Doctor" from our local ACE. heh...I am so glad I didn't buy a new carpet. That thing worked like a champ. The dirty brown (keep in mind this is a gray carpet with 129XXX miles) came right out. The mysterious red running stain coming from the underneath the dash on the passenger side down to the floor - yeah it's gone. The gum that was under the steal seat belt guide - gone. You would never know it was there.

    I did take out the console and the seats - it is the only way to do the cleaning. But DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN. That be lookin' new fo reel yo!

      The Rug Doctor is still around? I was watching Tic Tac Dough with my grandmother today and and that commrecial came on straight out of the 70's/80's. I thought to myself, LOL wonder if that is still around.

        Well, it might be old, but it works. Here is an image of the vacuum/shampooer.




        I had to bring it back this morning, it was a 24hr rental, but I did the car one more time for good measure - I love watching the dirty water get sucked away. This time I went with more water, and continued until the water was clear. I will take some pics today when it is dry.

          Wow...cool.

          Did the rental come with a small wand? How the4 hell did you shove that big thing in your car?

          I bought a quart of SEM "Landau Black" satin "Elastomeric Coating" AKA "Paint".
          SEM says it is perfect to recondition carpet, but I want to pull mine all the way out of the car before I do it...pressure washer FTW!

            Came with a small hose attachment that was a vacuum and sprayer. I need to take my pedals out and scrub them - or just toss them and get some AC ones! ;)

                  I noticed with the flash and the 8 MegaPixel camera there is still some stain near the pedals. However it cannot be seen without the flash. I can live with it. :) Now I need to get new floor mats...and a steering wheel. :)

                    Damn, man...looks great.

                    I am gonna try and scrub mine clean and paint them soon. I want black, dammit!

                    I am in on Mel Abrahams GB on nice floormats. They look great from what I see.

                        Looks good man. The carpet in the new car was so bad I just cut it out haha. Let me know when you are going to get rid of that steering wheel. I need something pretty cheap.:D
