dampen with shout and spray with blue coral then scrub hard. use some type of brush. dont be afraid to scrub hard and dont be afraid to use a lot of shout or blue coral. id rather use more than necessary then use too little and it doesnt work. you may have to do this twice, although i never had to....after its done, im sure it will be prett damp and sometimes no matter how much u scrub, that blue coral foam is always in your carpet. just wipe dry with a towel like its your hair or if its almost like standing water, vacume it up then dry it with a towel if necessary (it shouldnt and probally wont come to that unless u use waaaaaaay too much)

as for the rubber floor mats
in the pic if u look towards my feet, u can see the pattern in the floor mats. i have them for up front and in back. they were relatively cheap but probally more than most at walmart. imo the best they had. dont buy for looks, buy for quality. (dont even look at the goodyear or michilin ones, they are like 50 plus for a set) they are pretty deep and with all this snow wehad this winter, caught everything. when i went hunting in the bad weather this year, i got absolutely no mud on my carpet. now, they catch all the loose rocks or grass from my shoes. i love them...they are much deeper than they look in the pic and have a wall around the edge so nothing "runs"

I just washed my truck today. Gave it a bit of a detail. The one thing that I always do when I detail it (once a week in the summer), is spray tire shine in the wheel well. Gives it a good clean look, and it darkens it up.

Once it actually becomes spring and all this white stuff outside melts, I will use some of these suggestions to make my truck all nice and shiny again. Thanks for the write ups.

Wow! Thankfully, after that freak St. Patty's day storm, I think we're done. It's been nice and mid-50's or warmer here, pretty much since that snow stopped falling. I'm in Central PA.

I washed the truck last weekend and, for once, it's staying clean. The bugs are my new problem...they're coming back to life.

yeah, i don't think they're dying off here...at least not anytime soon. Maybe late next week we'll drop below freezing again overnight.
i'm cleaning my windshield (scrubbing the crap out of it) every two days, plus tons of washy fluid. sounds like it's raining when i'm driving.
