Questions, comments, critiques are welcome!
Great turnaround, hate to see those beautiful cars go to waste, really doesn't look like a mercedez with all those swirls. BTW, how do you get all those nice triangles on the carpets? Just seem so uniform in pattern
go up vertically and down at an angle (diagonally). Lol don't you ever vacum your house? Nice work with the detail! That paint was in horrible condition.
Thanks everyone for the comments! Yes Kaban you are right go up and down vertically on an angle. But this was with the triangle attachment on the steamer which seems the darken the carpets, enhancing the lines... To get them uniform what I do is go up, then pull back the right side of the bottom triangle....then push up to the right side of the top triangle (the one going the other direction). by doing this you should have them all the same size.. if that makes any sense? hard to explain.
That's very nicely done! Great job! I especially like this writeup because this car is the same as my DD Love the carpet wand pattern too, I am thinking of making a template so I can do that every time lol
