Got fed up with the disgusting carpet in my 4x4 the other day, absolutely caked in red Devon mud from the previous user, and scrubbing by hand did virtually nothing. So I ripped it out and spent about half an hour blasting every square inch with a pressure washer. Results very impressive, carpet has come up like nearly new! And dries really quickly too.

Also put in some new secondhand seats which are much cleaner too. 'Tis like a new motor. Also I've just been going through car paperwork and the Panda was 20 years old on the 4th of Feb, so happy belated birthday panda!

Door cards still need a bit of a scrub but overall much better i reckon.

Before and after pics attached. Before pic is from when the car was in bits, but you'll get the idea...

it's come up good, like the plain interior... those funky patterns are a bit disturbing in many of the 2wd pandas.

bit of soap and water on the internal rubber and plastic bits, dry and spray with trim polish will have it gleaming.

hi there !
thats looking pretty good how many pandas have you got left now ?is this the only one ?
lol i hope the wheels are turned and you've not "done a graham "(sprox) and stuck the stearing wheel on at an angle its a complete nightmare when you try to indicate !

Very nice, keep up the good work.
Rgds.

Wow, looking good! Looks like a nightmare ripping alll the carpet out. I was thinking about doing that as i cant get straw out of the carpet, from when the car was a bail collecting vehicle back on the farm lol. But when i looked at wat needed removing, my lasyness kicked in and i grabbed for the industrial hoover and a brush/soap lol.

Good effort anyway!

It really was grubby, it looks much better now though.

can't beat a good jet wash my neighbours look at me funny when i jetwash my interior on garden

With Splutter having rubber mats instead of carpet I just hoover him out now and again.

you would think that 4x4 would all have rubber mats being off road vehicles and all but non did didnt they think we would use them off road?

half an hour would talk the carpets out...Tis dead easy on the panda, nothing to get in the way bar the door trims and the seats.

Jim Did you use Talk talk or BT to "Talk" your carpets out

Mike good idea with the power washer. I must try it on the 127 carpet, might save having to get new ones made.

That's a good idea Urchin.

Now all you 4 x 4 owners will be after Splutter's rubber flooring and his engine bay insulation!
