take it easy, let a guy upload man :p

Nice work. :bow

You might want to try 2 things - #1, an acid wheel cleaner like PB`s S+R, and #2 a quality carpet prespotter. Hi-Temp makes a great one. It`ll save you some effort and the results iwill be a lil better.

[randomman84]

where can you get the high temp stuff?

[imported_Adamah]

Nice improvement but a bit of advice. If you`re going to take the time to make your little stripes in the carpet at least get them straight and even.

i guess when you post your work now, you get nothing but criticism.... good job over all.



I think that being an autopian generally gets you to think everythings going to come out perfect. When in reality theres just some things that wont come out..

I couldn`t tell those rims were chrome until the after shots. Nice job!

Nice after shots, especially on the rims. You should try some metal polish or the Mother`s Power Ball on them.



I`d tell him to get new floor mats and stick with the rubber, all season ones that you just have to hose off.



Great work :xyxthumbs

6`- Yeah how about that. Constructive criticism and suggestions are great but whats with the edgy tones?



Great work. I too have a couple suggestions. I`ve found when working with the LGCM you need to do some heavy pre-treating of soiled mats and pre-scrubbing. In my experience the LGCM is only good as a clean water extraction tool and isn`t so useful in removing stains on its own as its not powerful enough. With some scrubbing and the right cleaners though I bet you could have gotten those mats a whole lot cleaner.



The running boards on Explorers are also difficult, I always wipe them down with a good non-slippery dressing, PB`s NL or something like that. Helps them pop and look less dingy. I also scrub those sill plates on the interior with a good APC and hit the ones inside the door jambs with the dressing as well.

How is he...or anyone for that matter supposed to improve without constructive criticism? I guess if you just want a fluffy feel good world we can just sit around and pat each other on the back whenever we make something shiny. :down
