Wow, that is nice work. Do you do that for a living? How long did that take?

Thank you! No it’s a side job/hobby for extra cash. That one took me about 4 months.

I`m going to have nightmares after seeing the before picture with all that filth. I will never understand how people can do that to their vehicle.

Has anyone ever pulled the carpet from their interior and pressure washed it? I done mine about two weeks ago and it looks waaaay better than it did before. Sadly not as good as i would have hoped. Always hoping for that new car look but knowing it isn't always a reality. what types of degreasers or soaps did y'all use? I used purple stuff and some cheap stuff I got from the dollar store can't remember that name. but to go from badly stained to looking like maybe 85%-90% better is pretty good I think.

I use liquid laundry detergent. Vacuum really well. Wet, pour liquid laundry detergent on the carpet and scrub with a stiff bristle brush and then let sit in the sun to heat up. Take to the coin-op car wash and rinse. After the mud stops poring out in the rinse process, they look as good as new.

I had a mishap with a large bottle of dawn dish soap, it fell over in the back on the way home from Costco.... I guess they don't make those bottle dispensers leak proof... we had half the bottle on the rear carpet by the time we got home.

I got out the hose with a high pressure small hose nozzle and parked on the slope of the driveway and hosed the whole rear carpet out It turned out really clean in the end after sitting out in the sun for the rest of the day and by night we left the windows open in the hot garage it dried fine had no issues with mold or rust what so ever. I would not recommend keeping it in the truck but it had soaked thru to the metal floor and could only scrape out so much. So out of the vehicle it should work great as long as you have a warm day to dry.
