It'll still be flat and ugly and old as hell. That's probably as close as possible as you can get to polishing a turd.

Sorry but i dont agree. I just did it and mine turned out almost like new granted mine wasnt trashed to hell before i got it But mine was no where near flat or ugly. If you do it right you wont have that problem.

What year was your carpet from? And how many miles?

If the carpet has lost its fluff and is wearing thin, there's nothing that can be done.

All washing does is remove stains and smells, nothing else.
