It got the full Zaino treatment. Clay, 2 coats of Z2Pro, and Z6.

To do the carpets like that, clean them, then lightly mist them with water. Then take a good straight carpet brush and run it along the carpet in alternating directions

Thanks guys. Oh and this car was only a month old or so, about 3k miles i think.

how cold is it there?

We just had a freeze 2 weeks ago in CA. I did 2 cars that weekend, and the temp never exceeded 32*. It got as cold as 21*, and yes I was working in that weather.

Now before you east coast guys or north guys jump on me for temp....remember this is California.....40* is about the coldest it ever gets.

nice work, but i think the use of a flash and different lighting helped show the carpet better in the second picture, to make it look better then the before shot.....
