First official post and I was hoping for a critique on this extraction I did on my neighbor's company car last night. I did the extraction for pictures for my website and Facebook. I did not charge.
Prior I assumed that it would be difficult, as the car was never cleaned however I was not completely satisfied with my results. I am a slight perfectionist and overall would have liked better results. Now for me to achieve that it took 2 hours. And in general it does look better however there are still 2 areas of issue:


Brown spots in the center of the mat.
Area around the plastic left foot rest.


Please note that the mat was still very wet from pressure washing, I stopped was because it was around 25 degrees outside last night and I could not feel my hands anymore. Also the brown stain in the right side of the center console carpet was coffee and removed with a few squirts of Folex and blot-twist with a micro.

So my question to you is: If you were detailing this carpet for a customer would you have been satisfied with the results I achieved?

Curiosity side question...from all the advise and great reviews on here I purchased a MC 1385 on Monday, how much better will my end results be with the 1385?
