Did you try to clean the carpet before the paint job? Just wondering as I cleaned some pretty nasty carpet in my S-10 with Mr Clean and a garden hose (smelled lemony fresh for a while) and it came out pretty good.

Took a few days in the sun for the carpet to dry before I put it back in though.

OH the memories of power washing car interiors... Used to detail for a local car lot. They paid me $250 to clean the nasty ones out and about $100-150 to stripe them. It was a great way to make some extra simoleons on my days off my regular job.

They removed the seats and stuff for me so that is why so cheap. I have done them worse than yours and gotten them pretty clean. At least sellable. One tho had some one puke in the foot well and it didnt get cleaned up, car was bought at auction that way and when I pressure washed that area the carpet disintegrated from being eaten up by the acids. Oh yea fun times. I still got paid even tho they had to buy new carpet.

So as previously suspected this car was wrecked I pulled the fender off and found a nice little wrinkle but it doesn't seem too bad

I'll post up pics later my internet is down because the construction crew down the street cut the line so I'm on my phone
