Well the carpet is funked up in my rodeo. I let my mom drive it and she spilled a gallon of bleach on the carpet. It disolved the carpet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> I now know why it makes your whites whiter. I want to rip the carpet out and herc it. I read every post about this but I havn't seen any long term info on how this stuff lasts. Yeah I read the Hootus post too. thanks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

this is some pretty tough stuff,I've had mine for about 6 months now, and it's been trough all kinds of stuff. it hasn't even got worn where my feet rub. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

IÆm not sure if itÆll help, but hereÆs my third-party Herc testimonialà

While I was in Uwharrie, for the Saturday run I called shotgun with DougH in his fully Herced Monty. (Please, no æFull MontyÆ / æHerced HootusÆ cross-references from the Peanut Gallery, thank you very much!) --- Anyway, since DouglasÆs ashtray serves him more as coin and catch-all bin, I very soon found myself looking for an alternative place to snuff a buttà ôUse the floorö he said, without so much as a second thought.

It was plainly apparent that the floorboards had already seen more than their fair share of use (well actually, knowing 'Capt'n Nemo' and his notorious ways, we better make that æabuseÆ)à but still, the dull, lusterless, black substance that he has applied all over the inside of his rig appears to have remained utterly impervious to everything thatÆs been thrown at it (and believe me; just from what IÆve personally seen, that's A LOT!) --- Extinguishing my cigarettes had no more of an effect than I would have expected from doing so on a concrete sidewalk.

Suffice it to say, the stuff is absolutely amazing! --- When mine finally becomes a fully dedicated trail rig, IÆm gonna rip out all of the carpet and apply some myself. --- At the moment, I donÆt think itÆs possible for me to offer any higher praise than that.

My vote? û GO FOR IT!

After returning from Uwharrie, and spending three-full-days scouring all of that dried Carolina red clay mud from the interior of mine, I quickly found myself daydreaming about one-day achieving the exact same results with a few strategic blasts from a garden hose.

Cheers! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Hope your windows are tinted.

Herc fades fast. I live far from the equator, in New England, and the Herc on my exterior, and bed, kept its gloss and intensity for about 1 week in the summer.

As far as its durability is concerned, I have only pierced it in 2 places in my bed. Incredible, considering I use my truck to haul *lots of* gallons of paint and tools every day. (I give it quite a beating.)

Wish I could find a way to get it to look "black" and glossy all the time. Maybe clearcoat? Guess this doesn't apply to your app.



Also, look into doing the lower half of your body panels. I did it on my black truck and it looks great.

I think Eric D(?) posted pictures in a thread.



Try driving around without your carpet and pad for a while to see if you can handle the road noise. Maybe you are a savage thuogh and that thought never crossed your mind.


(edit: i just realized i wrote I haul "100's" of gallons of paint in my pup every day. ok slight exaggeration.)

hey CPOM did you try Armeral for the fadeing. it works good on line-x.

I agree with CPOM, the only gripe i have about Herc is once you get it dirty for the first time, its darn near impossible to return it to its orignal black luster.

It's gotta be permanent for me to spend the time. Part of the draw to herc was to hide scratches and dings, and so I wouldn't have to wash/wax/care for the covered areas at all.

Like I said...



As you probably guessed, Doug's windows are not tinted. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

when my Herc started to fade i just hit it with some gloss black rattle can. Poof all new again.
