About this book
Whether you are restoring a classic truck, re-trimming a fleet of delivery vans, or starting an auto upholstery business, the materials underfoot and around you define the quality of the finished work. This handbook explains how carpet and upholstery are actually made: the polymers, fibers, backing materials, and adhesion systems that determine durability, appearance, and comfort. It gives you the specifications that matter, such as fiber density, face weight, tuft bind, and abrasion ratings, and shows you how to test them in the real world.

★★★★★Finally a book that treats car carpet and upholstery like an engineering subject, not a weekend project. I've been doing interiors for about six years and I still learned a lot from the material specs section and the chapter on installing. The only reason it's not five stars is that I wished the business chapter had a bit more on pricing formulas, but that's probably me being cheap. Overall, this is the book I'll hand to our new hire to read.
