01 The product
The professional way to complete a car wash and detail.
You’re almost finished. You’ve spent hours washing the car. Your WDT Werks favourites have done their thing, inside and out. Stand back, admire your work… but hold on a minute. What about the carpets? Carpet stencils from WDT Design. The finishing touch to your Porsche detail. Easy to use and taking just minutes, they leave that satisfying “I’ve just spent a small fortune having my car professionally detailed” look. Sorry pro detailers. Available in a range of colours to match or contrast with your car. Mine? Yellow and white, of course. SIZE: 25 x 19cm
How to use
1. Start clean. Thoroughly vacuum your carpets. If they’re heavily soiled or the pile is flattened, give them a proper clean/wash first. A carpet washer will help restore the pile.
2. Lightly dampen. A clean, slightly damp carpet works best. Avoid soaking it. It just needs to be lightly misted. If using a cleaning product, check that it’s suitable for your carpet and follow its directions. WDT Werks Touch is perfect for this and smells great!
3. Brush the pile one way. Brush or wipe the carpet in one direction to create an even finish. Try both directions: one will look darker than the other.
4. Add some lines. If you fancy stripes or a pattern, use a rubber carpet brush or a suitable detailing brush before adding your crest.
5. Position the stencil. Lay it flat on the carpet and gently push it down around the edges of the stencil and on the details within.
6. Brush through the cut-outs. Using a small detailing brush, gently brush the exposed pile in the opposite direction to the surrounding carpet. Keep the stencil still as you work. If it slips, brush the carpet back to an even finish and try again.
7. Lift and admire. Carefully lift the stencil straight off. Stand back and admire your handiwork. A little longer. You’ve earned it.
A little practice makes all the difference. Work gently, take care around the stencil’s finer details and try different brushes to find your favourite finish. Different carpet piles will give different results.
Can also be used on upholstery and in boots (trunks for our American friends).
Have fun and detail like a pro!
