Default How do you guys keep the carpet clean?

I was thinkin of getting some of that plastic like dealers put down over the floor mats anyone know where to get that? I think its sticky on the bottom and sticks to the floor. In one of my other cars I put clear mats over the stockers and that worked ok but I dont really wanna do that in this car.

Vacuum regularly and keep something like Folex around for spot cleaning.

You could always invest in a pair of rubber mats. That way you dont have to be as careful about whats on your shoes before getting in the car. Every car wash just hose them off before u wash the car. Set them aside and let them dry while you wash the car and by the time you're done they should be dry. Any bit of dirt/rocks/leaves that may get past them around the edges can easily be vacuumed up.

I don't let my girlfriend chew snuff in the car anymore, and I make her take off her hunting boots.

My buddy kept the plastic down in his GTO, it doesn't look that bad, and I can't think of a better way to prevent stains from spilling stuff... anyone know where you can buy it?
