What is this striping of the carpets that you do? I see you do it quite a lot, if not all of the time. What is that exactly and why do you do it?

Those are vacuum lines, he just takes the tip of the vacuum and makes passes going in separate directions.

Oh, thought there would be something more to it than that as I thought it stayed that way and wasn't just a temporary thing.

Nice, the 997 GT3s are such a bad *** car. LOL, can you imagine running a front plate on that car? It would totally kill it....

Thanks guys. I dont use the vac to do the stripes. I use a brush with nylon bristles and mist the carpet with some water. Then run it in one direction and then the next.

The brush is TB-B20.




Sometimes I can spend too much striping like on this cayenne.

This is as close to perfect as I could get it that day. Not 100% perfect but it looks good. I tend to be picky with I stripe carpet.

While I would do very bad things to get my paws on one of those new GT3's, I have to admit, when I saw it the first thing I thought of was .... Hi!


I love going to the high end dealerships to oogle at all the cars.

Default Let's see some real world cars and their results

Not really meaning to be disrespectful or too much on the ******* side, but honestly, I see you're a tropi-care dealer and the only reason I could see you posting these up would be to sell your product. Now this is just my opinion, but it makes sense to show something maybe not so cherry that really really needed a treatment so that we could all see the real world results. I mean, I understand somewhat that you're trying to convey...that people with these expensive cars trust you to detail there cars and you use Tropi-care products but, lets see what it really does on a vehicle that has some micro-marring and things of that nature. The posts that I've seen thus far, just seem to be ones of cars that just needed a shining. Something more on the common man level so we can see real world results.
