I think there is a good write up in the Hall of fame about them. I am not sure if the pictures still work though.

I`m going to go ahead and update the thread/pictures with new ones once I get a chance. I will have to re-take them now, as the originals are long gone and I don`t even own that truck anymore.

I do have a couple to give a general idea of the finished look, maybe these will tide you over until I get around to updating the thread:

How do you guys clean carpets? The reason I ask is because I use an extractor, and to me its just second nature to put lines in the carpet and it takes just a few seconds. Sometimes I use straight lines as pictured, or triangles...

Yeah, thats all I use.



and magictouch: I use elbow grease to scrub and an LGCM to extract. It doesn`t always work to leave lines behin with the LGCM so I do it manually later to ensure precision.
