Re: No more carpet stripes! The new thing!

I've seen it done quite a bit before with the likes of Symbols like the bowtie and the Ram etc etc. But it's the first time I've seen a Detailers company name. Looks pretty cool. How are the customers reacting to it?

LOL It's not spray paint. He puts the stencil on the carpet and then brushes the nap the opposite direction as the rest just like putting carpet stripes in. It's just a visual effect that will be gone once people step on it. No harm here.

Beat me to it, it's like microsuede glide your palm to the left, then write with your finger towards the right.

Very original OP, I can't really see any customer being opposed to this

He was kidding... that's what the second statement ended with "on a more serious note."
