Given the title of this thread, would those be termed "landing strips"?

Juke,

You'd better find out about Mike's apprentice program! The Master has right of first refusal.

Regarding the carpet striping, I've found cat brushes to work very well.

People always flip out over the stripes. Most people think it's done with a vacuum cleaner or a carpet cleaner. All it is is a 2.99 brush.

Pic 1 - brush all nap in same direction
Pic 2 - pull brush against nap
Pic 3 - finished product

That's excellent. It's like mowing a suburban lawn.

Wow, neat trick! I feel so un-educated. What a difference a brush and ten minutes can make. The best part? IT'S FREE! I think I'm spending too much time here but when you get info like this, who can complain? Thanks for the tip guys!
Cheers, Tim

BTW, I was refering to the carpet/brush part being quick and easy, the rest looks like a LOT of work! The results look awesome! I wish there was someone out here that could do that quality of work.

I bought the car from jukelmon earlier this year and he sent me the pics from this detail when we were corresponding about it. I'll try to dig them up and repost them. It was very nice. The car is actually quite dirty now, but I've been driving it much more than I planned when I bought her. I just can't stay out of it!

This is funny I haven't been on for awhile and saw this thread. I remembr when I did this for Jukelemon. That actually was a nice car to start with. It was in great condition. You bought a good one.
