i'm assuming i have to have the mats completely submerged? regular detergent should do the trick? if i had known i would have done this the day of ownership haha.

and as for the hyper dressing, i dont even let it sit, i just wipe it off right away haha. you've seen my engine bay pics from the threads i've made in the basement

 

yeah you want to use the big load setting (no homo). regular detergent works just fine. just make sure if it has bleach like chemicals make sure it's color safe.


hahha so the same idea as 303.

 

fuck. i keep looking at the after pics. so damn fucking cleeeaaaannnn!!!! :bigok:

 

lol "big load setting" i'm never going to look at that dial the same again. i used 303 and hot water to clean the carpet thats yet to be installed

haha come on man lets do the same to your car

 

haha no joke bro, when i read that same thing about "big load" i literatly laughed out loud in the computer ILC building at the UofA, forgot where i was for a second haha, as for me using simple green, i used it because my engine was nasty looking, brown n shit, quick rinses do wonders, what exactly should i cover up though if i do a rinse in the engine? i had control of the simple green so didnt need to cover.

 

Good work on the project, it came out lookin really good & i definatly agree with others on the paint color. I really like that color on the teg.

 

i believe i had mentioned before how much in love i am with your old integra haha, dude if i had the time and money i would make mine as beautiful as that, same color and 2 years older, you had a 2001 right? mines a 99

so back to spec-r's question, personally as i stated in another thread, i love the 98-01 front end, the grill area is a very clean look, and my interpretation, you cannot stuff paper balls in your headlight area, i like an overall flush look to cars, no nooks n crannies

 

car looks awsome.. congrats!!! one thing though u have a 98 and up set up in the back and 97 and under set up in the front.. was that done on purpose?? or was that jsut how the car was sold to you..???

 

unless the car is really old or the engine is in really bad condition (ie, deteriorating rubber seals for the electrical connections) I don't bother covering things. But I do avoid thing like alternator, spark plugs, battery, the major electrical items. you can use aluminum foil to cover any suspect connectors and the alternator (don't use on the battery), foil is easier to keep in place and much easier to use.

 

i use those 30 dollar pesticide sprayers with water to rinse off the bay. i'll take shots later today when I do the engine bay.

thanks man! i'm surprised everyone likes the color so much.

thanks! the car was rear ended and my friend had the 98 up rear parts installed since it was the same price anyway, so yeah it was sold to me that way.


yeah i really dont cover stuff, especially now that I use the pesticide sprayer. I'll use the exhaust port on my wet vac to blow the excess water out, and go straight to dressing
