Just cleaned under seats
I've been getting my 99 vert ready for a car show this weekend, spent an hour for each fenderwell, caliper, rotor polishing inside of rims etc. Today I even took the seats out to shampoo carpet. I thought it might be a bitch but it only took about 15 minutes to do both sides. I even found 95 cents in change. So I thought it would be a good little project to mention to all, I think it was even easier than trying to get the vacuum attachments between the cracks.

Hi stingray -
Thanks for the report -
I plan on getting some seat covers for my Z soon and will be removing the seats - it seems like an easy job but you know how those jobs usually go lol...
best regards -

I do this about once a year. Amazing how much stuff can find its way under the seats.
