That's all there is to it turbos17. I did use an rectanglur vacum attachment the width of the stripes with a very short brush on the attachment. When you vacum carpet one way it usually lifts the carpet up and if you vacum it in the other direction pushes the carpet down. That creates the stripping effect. Very easy!

As always thanks for your complement Joe. I looking forward to seeing a great detail from you if the weather ever warms up in Chicago.

Thanks for you complements kumzypinoy.

Nica, Pinnacle Leather Condition has received a lot recomenations on the forum. I'm glad I tried it. You won't be disappointed.

I'm glad you forgave me Surfer.

This was the 2nd time I used Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. It has a faint leather smell and does a great job. I put 2 applications on the leather after washing it with Connolly Leather Cleaner.

The carpet really did not look dirty but just dull. I went over all the carpet with DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. I brought the color up more and look a lot better. It has been years since I cleaned all the carpet.

Everything in the interior is original except for the floor mats which I replaced. I detailed the interior yesterday (4/14/07) but I took the pictures this moring before it started to rain. The flash went off in most of the pictures making the red look a little brighter then it really is and the paint lighter.

















As always I always really apreciate everyone's comments and suggustions.

Your frickin' photography is as good as your detail work!

[AL417]

Your details are so very....DETAILED!

Thanks BlackCoupe, I like taking pictures, love cars and I like detailing cars so
taking pictures of cars you detail is always fun for me.

Thanks AL47, the type of work I do for a living makes me be very detailed. I guess if it also shows up in my car detailing it's a good thing.

Paradog, Are you giving me a hard time There are a lot of great detailer's on this forum. There are plenty of them a lot better then me. When people tell me I did a good job and I'm usually looking at my work and thinking I could have done better. I enjoy detailing and I always try to improve at everything I do. Most of all I have fun doing it.

Need help for leather seats with holes in the leather. There is one area on the drivers seat bottom right where there is dirt in the little holes in the leather. I have been unable to get it out. From a distance it makes the leather look dirty. The leather is clean but not the little holes. I could not get the dirt out with Connolly Leather Cleaner. Does anyone have a product they would recomend that would be safe on the leather and clean the dirt out of the little holes? Any sugguestions would be deeply appreciated.

Very nice Gary, I actually do not like vettes except for older classic ones. Great job on the carpet, love the stripes.
