That's amazing. Those were some pretty ugly water beading (slopping) pictures in the beginning. The swirls also seemed really bad!



Oh, and one more thing. I've always wanted to ask this, but forgot every time: How do you guys get the carpet to look like that with the stripes? I know it's changing the direction of vacuuming, but everytime I do it with my Ridgid vacuum head, I can't make a good straight line. Also the carpet doesn't seem to "fluff" up and give a good contrast.



Great job again!

i was wondering that same thing. i was trying to do that with PC vac and it was not working
 
Ok My Carpet Process:



Vacuum With Rigid

Spray Folex on stains/ heavy traffic

Scrub with brush

Spray with APC

Scrub with brush/ aqua brush on Porter Cable

Spray down with hose/ pressure wash

Use Rigid Car attachment and go up, down, up, down ect to create lines



Any questions I'd be more than happy to answer!



(This is one of many methods I use, just used this one on this particular car.
 
Excellent! That car was as scary dirty as mine is right now!



Really superb job on the paint and interior, the car looks new again. :)

I use a carpet brush to make the lines in my mats. The brush is easier to control so that the lines come out straighter.

Yeah I do the same thing. My co-workers give me hell for it, but i think it helps tidy up the interior.
 
Very nice work! You should have talked them into losing the door edge guards, they really detract from the look of the car.
