A series of before pics:
Nice soiling on the passenger seat:
First job was to remove any clutter (..There was none!) and hoover.
In removing the floor mats though, I had to laugh. Look at the difference in the colour of the dirty and ‘clean’, carpet.
The mats had seen better days; made for a great turnaround though.
Ok, so.. Bio-Brisk was applied via spray bottle and the carpet pile was agitated with an upholstery brush. A couple of slow passes with water extraction were made closely followed by several more passes removing the water. A final scrub/dry was given with a MF.
A 50/50 on the passenger mat.
And here’s the collected water that was used for the front two mats alone:
Rear foot-wells were a bit dirty, too.

After:
Before:
After:
Again, a good wipe around was given with a clean microfibre to help remove any remaining residues.
Moving on to the seats now, a similar process was used as above but, extra care taken making sure the material didn’t get too wet.
More dirty water collected after the seats were vac’d.
(..You just don’t realise, do you?)
After all the ‘wet-work’ was complete, I equipped a few brushes and attacked the dash/centre-console and door cards.
50/50 attempts..
The lot was given another quick hoover out (as was the boot area) and the plastics were treated to 303 aerospace protectant.
Drivers foot-well before and after:
And a few final afters.
Spanking!!!!
Very pleased with the turnaround (especially the carpet work)
Work time four and a half hours.
Thanks for reading.
Jim.
