I was never a fan of carpet striping, probably because you need a good extractor or vacuum to do form the fiber nap AND a steady hand to get the lines so arrow straight, but it does add that extra professionally-detailed signature touch. My real reason was former and missing-in-action Autopian all-star Barry Theal said carpeting never came from the factory this way, so he never did this striping. He would even go over carpets with a brush and compressed air to re-arrange the fibers to look "factory stock" after cleaning. Professional detailers are entitled to their preferences.

Autopian all-star Sizzle Chest in Florida does this striping in carpets as well.

That said, don`t knock unless you can do it, (envious) Captain Obvious!

Anyway, Street5927, would you comment on how many total hours from start to finish you have in detailing theis "land yacht"? My reason for asking is that even more pedestrian (AKA smaller) SUVs take forever (16 hours, 2 days) for me to detail properly inside and out. (No, I do not have the equipment that you, Street5927, use for "professional detailing".)

That Yukon is a rolling art-work of your detailing prowess and abilities, Street5927. Thanks for posting the pics. Like I have posted to above mentioned detailing all-star, Sizzle Chest, from former New York Yankees oft-quoted manager, Yogi Berra,"It ain`t braggin` if ya can do it!"
