    I feel like this transformation is a testament to the process you've developed over the years. I thought there was no way the Truck could look as good as it did by the end, but you followed the same steps you always do (perhaps with a bit more elbow grease than usual), and it came out looking great (considering the condition of the vehicle). Really well done, as always! 👏

    As dirty as this truck is, it makes me glad to see it so muddy before cleaning. This was a real work truck, and the new owner also intends to use it that way.
    Way too many people buy F-150s just to look “cool” and “manly,” then use it on nothing but picking up groceries, parking badly and revving at traffic lights. It’s an expensive, powerful, gas-guzzling truck and should be used as such.

      Yep we used one but I usually get whatever loose dirt is there and then use a foaming carpet cleaner and let it soak a little then run the orbital over it a few times before I vacuum it a second time. Makes a huge difference and really freshens up the carpet especially if there is discoloration from mud or salt.

      I know that some detailers will pull the whole carpet out and pressure wash it, so I was thinking that would be faster with a carpet this dirty, especially there on the driver’s side. It probably takes longer to dry, though. Extraction can only get so much when the filth is penetrating the carpet to the floor underneath.

And the people who see what things can be like, then makes that real, are visonaries and master craftsman. These people are far and few between. When you see their professional artistry though, you know they belong to a special class of people. Committed. Detailed. Refined. Soulful. Healers.
