    left windows open in the rain

    The amount of rain was not terrible, but enough to make the seats uncomfortable when sat on. :( :( It is still slightly damp after 24 hrs, anything special I can do about that? I was thinking wet/dry vac as much as I can, then use hair dryiers a bit. I was totally busy today, so I will do it...

    quick question on woolite

    I did my mats today with 6:1 woolite, they turned out great. The only problem is that they felt stiff, I will go over them with some water and wet/dry vac it up. I have some bad stains on my actual carpets, will the woolite work on it? If it doesent, what should I use to spot treat stains? Thanks

    303 is streaky when used on my exterior trim.

    I used 303 on my trim after I washed my car with foam. I got a little on the paint, but after I finished everything I wiped it down. It looked great then, but after a day it got all streaky and messy looking. I love 303 on the interior, but it has a :down from me on exterior trim.
