Schrade · 10-21-2013

I worked with a pro carpet cleaner in while in college. There's a solution that we once applied to someone's carpet, then heated with an iron. It got about 99% of the red out of the carpet.

Get in touch with your local INDEPENDENT carpet cleaning contractor (NOT Stanley Steamer). Take the section to him.

Leave the black seats, looks almost the same as the Neiman Marques Camaro

I have rear hatch carpet coming from Scrrem. Sent back the ACC stuff because of the mismatch on carpet tint. Also got a new shift boot from Redine to help match w interior. Hoping to find a source to do the shift knob cover next. Currently I have a C5 knob on there.

What did Robert use for cleaning the carpet?

I haven't taken a close look at it but I can tell you the overall condition of carpeting is good and the riser doesn't undergo much wear and tear.

Schrade,

Starting to remove carpet and seats this week. Actually, the carpet looks to be in pretty good shape.

So I had the opportunity to clean the rear hatch carpeting I pickup from Schrade. Took advantage of 60F weather today but it was stormy. However, it worked out. I used the DDS (DeMarco Detailing System) to clean the carpet.Still need to powerwash the carpet to blast out the remaining soap solution, but I think its looking pretty good already. I think I may use DDS to clean the seatbelt fabric too.

I have some before and after shots. Not really worried about the red stain. It'll be hidden under the seat anyway.

Before

Then After cleaning

Also, another couple of pics that I thought were interesting. One of the labels detached from the carpet. Pretty sure this is OEM stuff, but it was sort of neat to find this label under the other label. This was the only label that had this and it belongs to the riser carpeting. I thought it would be cool to post this.

And under that label I found this:

Jeff, You are going to laugh when you hear what i used. But it the past 25+ years I cant find anything that works half as good.

Dawn dish soap.

I am going to try a nano sealant, as I do not have a black car do you want to volunteer your car? 8 fifty is the product that I am going to buy. Not cheap by any means. They have two claims to fame, first the product life from a single application is three years. Second you can use your normal waxing methods and products after the product is installed.
What do you use for wax? I think I am going to invest in a jar of Blackfire Black Ice.
