You're quite something for washing your car during the humidity and heat haha. Looks great compared to my brown/blue dalmatian

Looking great! Now you just need to find some Los Angeles carpet cleaners to shampoo the inside and you'll have a brand new car! I just got done doing my RX the other day and it's like I just drove it off the lot all over again. I love it!

Where do you buy that stuff? I've been using regular APCs (Optimum Power Clean) for carpets, but a dedicated carpet shampoo sounds like a nice item to have.

Folex, sold at HD and Lowes I believe. Personally I'd rather have less products that do multiple tasks than have one for a specific one. Not as much space on the shelf wasted haha
