914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn. Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598 |
From this months Pano:
I'm having a devil of a time keeping my linen white interior capets clean, especially around the foot pedals, driver's side foot rest and door transom. I can shampoo and get the other areas clean with PS21 Total Wash and lots of water, but the area around the foot pedals continues to be grungy. Also, my carpet is beginning to mat up on the door transom and I try to brush it out to no avail. Any suggestions for cleaning as well as any clear type carpet protectors that I can use for daily driving, but pull off for concours? The amazing thing is they print a polite answer. "I had this same problem with my 86 944 Turbo. There was no sane solution. I tried plastic like that offered on the clear bra, and pieces of rubber mat that I could when needed. I finally replaced the carpet with blackand lived happily ever after. Dark blue would be your carpet choice." Why do I find it hard to believe these people occupy a spot on the same planet I do? For that matter, who was the idiot at Porsche who decided to offer white carpet? Is it me who is different? Why can't I understand white carpet in a car?

Maybe the problem I'm having with this is I'm not in touch with my feminine side.

Since you've breached the barrier regarding upscale stains and soiling, I'd like to add two. How to clean the peanut butter-and jelly residue out of the map pocket on the door and secondly, ever since I let a friend drive the 914 too quickly into a corner, only to have him lift and hit the brakes, the driver's side seat has a peculier smell in hot weather (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , how can I deoderize it?

In high school I had a friend with a very nice 69 Chevelle, he had the typical black carpeted floor mats over the carpet, and he would put white towels over the floor mats so the floor mats wouldn't get dirty. It actually was probably the cleanest DD that I have ever seen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

We had an old lady trade her Honda Accord in w/2 sets of carpet mats over the factory carpets. Towels over the rear parcel shelf., a terry wrapped s/w, and 2 sets of seat covers over the factory upholstery. As you'd imagine, the interior was perfect. Somebody bought that car before the sun set that day. I wonder if anyone kept a 914 that way?

I have a pair of white reindeer slippers. And a pair of lamb slippers. The dogs run around my feet and try to herd them when I wear 'em. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Peanut butter/jelly residue - remove door pocket, lick residue (from what, 25 years ago?), barf on driveway - done! Driver's seat - liquid Beano spray. Spray on seat, let set for 5 minutes, lick off. Works well & keeps you from pharting (my spelling) for 24 hrs. But, it tastes like sh_t! |
