i took DakarM's advice and washed my floormats in the washing machine. they were a bit too big, and it took me a few tries to get them in there right. if i bundled them up, the dirt would just accumulate in the non exposed parts of the mats during the spin cycle. holy hell though they were dirty as hell. not brand new...but still a big improvement, especially around the edges, which i had the most difficulty with when I was using my Green Machine.


Sorry for the weird pics, I was excited and did this at 5am-6am after my night shift

So here's a little engine detail, if u want to call it that. its more just like an engine wash and wipe.

Before: - last time I did this was a couple months ago. soo its not too dirty.

Rinsing off Simple Green

I sprayed the bay with a 4:1 dilution of the Hyper Dressing..wiped stuff down. Then decided to respray the bay with water again. I blew off the excess with my ShopVac.

Here's the end result - yeah i missed a lot of spots and could have been more thorough..but meh :oh:

lol i'm not messed up like that, the pics are actually after first complete wash cycle. I actually did 3 cycles, because I kept getting it wrong. The final one was only the front mats and by then a lot of the dirt was gone :p

i should have probably mentioned that on the spin cycle, you flip the mats around so the carpeted portion face out :hs:

i figured that from the get-go, but with the back seat mats in there and the front mats not wanting to contort evenly, some spots just werent open to the centrifugal forces yo :(
