Re: 2001 Chevy Venture
Those carpets are still nasty. I get vans like these to do pretty frequently and the crud and dirt just keeps coming out of the carpets extraction after extraction. A few cans of SEM gray carpet dye would really make a big difference in that one.

This car is just a utility vehicle incase someone has nothing else to drive, its been sitting for 6 months. It has 206000 miles on it, but ill look into the carpet die for a later project.
I extracted until the water was coming back clean.

Re: 2001 Chevy Venture
Great job! Sometimes you get to the point on bad carpets where the dirt is removed but the staining just won't budge.

Re: 2001 Chevy Venture
I think what you see with hose front carpets isn't necesarily staining but the natural color of the carpet fibers because the original dye has been ground off and chemically stripped off by scrubbing with different cleaners etc.
On old high mileage clunkers like that I've simply sprayed down and brushed in light gray spray paint to create a like new look.
It actually works rather well believe it or not.

Yeah, That's Where I believe I was at. I tried my best at it, infact, I spent 45minutes on that section alone. Im blaming it on the nature of my families business. We are constantly walking in grease and oil, and even when you think you're not, the oil is in the air and falls to the ground, so its on your shoes anyway.

Lol, funny you should mention that. My brother got married over the weekend, and is a huge comic nerd. So he asked his brothers and brother-in-laws to wear a super hero shirt under their clothes and i chose to be flash
