Remember when I got this car, just how messy it was?
Once I had removed all the loose rubbish and rubble from it, the floor and mat was still in a condition that I expected it to need replacing.
So in my typical style, I rethought it all, and the hassle of having to undo the seat base, seat belt anchors etc in order to remove the mat, and to replace it with a new carpet.
Of course this makes no sense, except if you like polishing turds…….
So I pushed the car out, raised the front end up on some ramps and got going.
Sprayer nozzle on the hose to wet and wash it as much as possible, to see if any of the carpet pile could be revived…….
Followed by a hard brush and a lot of brushing and washing over and over……
Then Fairy liquid to aid the lifting process.
More rinsing and finally this result.
The carpet pile was revived, and once dried out, the colour returned to a uniform dark grey/black.
My old lodger John, the driving school instructor had come over for a few hours, to check up on me and have a few cups of tea and biccies.
He was amused by the car, and declined driving it….. thankfully.
Process was filmed by John as he is a sneaky guy with a camera.

Another Job done and Canta standing drying out.
Weather looks promising today.
May get something done.
Fingers crossed.
