cleaned bimmer's carpeted floor mats. haven't used it in forever since i got rubber floor mats for it long time ago, they are actually not that dirty, but thought i might as well, since i have bought some carpet cleaners while ago.
left on the pic is "Zep" brand carpet cleaner, supposedly some enzyme or whatever. on the right is "Resolve" brand foaming spray can.
both cleaned well, but Zep left the mat noticeably more wet, and i have to dab it with towel or something after.
Resolve worked well, foam kinda soaks up the dirt after scrubbing with brush, and wasn't terribly wet after, and left the carpet more clean looking to my eye. but smells horrendous. had to open the garage door to ventilate.
also, noticed one of the front suspension brace's bolt was missing while i was inspecting the bimmer's undercarriage(you know, since i rinsed it down earlier today, making sure it's properly dry) i don't know what the fxk happened there. driven it 3 times in 2 years. good thing i bought spares long time ago. put it on, and re-tightned all the bolts so it doesn't happens again. some were loose.
looking thru my spare parts bin for the bimmer, i found 2 brand new oil filters, 1 new engine air filter, new coolant reservoir, spare nuts and bolts, body clips, new HID bulbs, etc. put me in weird mood.
if i had driven it more, i probably would have used them or put them on.. but in the last few years, i've only driven less than 200km.
i've been thinking about this long time, but i think it's time to sell the bimmer for real this time.
