The foam is 4" thick in places and just holds the water. I had to take all my carpet out and let it sit in the yard for a week to get it to dry out. This is about 2 months after cleaning the carpet!!!! Only good thing was I was putting in a new stereo so it was already getting at least part way taken apart

I use mostly foam on the carpets, but the floor mats were power washed with the wand, but they're sitting in the back til they dry. I bring carpet cleaner soap and a bucket and scrub brushes, then use the car wash wand to make it into foam lol, it's what we use to do at the detail shop I use to work for. Then I take towels and hand scrub/dry the carpet after.
Also I do the same thing with the carpet usually too haha, but I know from tearing out a BMW carpet in the past that indeed they do have some THICK insulation foam going on haha. I think I used maybe a cup of water though, and 1/2oz of soap.
