Alternative flooring

Yes…but, you have to be VERY mindful of just how potent the Purple Power is. It’s not something where you can spray on a fabric seat and wipe off with a sponge. You would need to straight up blast the PP with a pressure washer to get all of the corrosive PP out of the foam…which isn’t going to happen if simply attempt it on a fully assembled seat. Whenever i go full OCD on cleaning seats, i will go the extra marathon miles to cut out the hog rigs (that attach the fabric to the metal seat pad and backs), and completely disassemble the seats. I’m not opposed to giving just the foam and all of the fabric with PP at that point, because i know i can dilute it and get 99.9% of it out with the pressure washer. Yes the foam seat will be a HUGE sponge, but wait until you have a stretch of hot weather, and the foam will dry out in a few days. Then reinstall the fabric with new hog rings with a pair of hog ring pliers. I did that exact thing on my Tundra as well. I just also did it on my dad’s dog haired up 2013 Prius. He’s had nasty wet dogs in his car for the past 11 years. It was filthy disgusting, so i’m currently on day 5 of cleaning the ENTIRE interior after i gutted it out!




Even one of the chickens hopped into the car to check out and see what all was going on.

 

To this point, and the reason I don't recommend PP on alloy or fabrics, what I see in your pics is why I won't use it on carpets. You can literally see fade/bleach spots if you look carefully. I screwed up my '03 Sierra's carpet that way. It was medium grey so it was more obvious.

 

Which pics are you seeing the fade/bleach going on?

I totally agree that PP can easily etch aluminum if you aren’t very careful. It can also damage cheap organic anodizing.

 

There's a couple places. I'm highlighting the most obvious. Look at the pic in this spot, without my red lines mucking it up. You'll see it. I did the exact same shit to my carpet. I was pissed!

 

It’s camera angles, shadows, glaring, and vacuum lines that you’re seeing. There was no bleaching or fading so speak of…at least none that i ever noticed (and i have decent eyesight). Keep in mind that the camera on my iphone7 first began to on the fritz not too long after this pic was taken.

But as a word of warning to all, don’t ever let the PP dry on fabric or vinyl when out in the sun (apply it in the shade)! It could cause damage like you said, Shifty.

And the other bad place to spray PP are tube type dirtbike rims. The PP will get in behind the spokes and corrode the inside of the aluminum rims! Same thing can happen with Simple green getting inside of dirtbike rims too!

 

If I look at the same spots from other angles, I still see it. I've got pretty sensitive color sense though, so maybe it's just me.

 

The first pic looks a portal to a rocket!!
