Am I getting Better?:bow

paintwork looks better and glossier ... it does NOT appear you vacuumed under the mats however.

I didnt really mess with the carpet I'm just practicing here

[Smokin]

looks better but always finish what you start and you will get better. and you won't get jacked as often. :cheers:

That is a blinding RED interior. Paint work looks nice.
This is personal preference, but on the mats, I would keep perfectly straight lines when alternating instead of getting all twisty with it. It gives a cleaner, more uniform look IMO.
Lookin' good though - practice makes perfect, or at least it gets you pretty close.

how do u get the deep lines in the carpet?

[wytstang]

There is improvement in the paint work you did, you can get better results with better products. What machine (if any) was used?

94lt1 those lines are created by making opposite passes. See if I can explain, remove your floor mat and start from either far end. If you make an up to down pass then the next pass it would be from down to up. Each pass is done side by side. Make since? no?

Ya it does.so theres not special attachment.i would just need to apply more pressure??

One way iv found to help remove dirt from floor mats is but the in the tub full of hot water upside down and the dirt drifts to the bottom of the water then suck out the rest as for carpet wet lightly with hose with nozzle scrub with bruch and suck out
