Hi Ceace,

Sounds like your carpet is heading toward being black with you kicking and screaming the whole way. I think you need to set some new ground rules because your car is loosing value quickly. My interior is black on black and yes you see a lot of dust etc. but will always look original after vacuuming. My personal theory is to always start with the method which is least abrassive when cleaning. I start with soap and water and if the stain(s) doesn't come out, then go to the more abrassive cleaners. For the carpet, I like the one with the built in scrubber (sorry can't remember the brand name). For the leather seats, I recently bought the Maguire's product with keeps the leather soft. I noticed that they have a separate product for cleaning stains out of leather which may help you. With the leather softner I can say it is really worth the money (it was the most expensive vs. other competitors) and does a great job without leaving the leather feeling greasy or slippery. Cleaning the stains right away is also helpful as opposed to letting them accumulate, specifically the carpet, then you are left with a stain on top of a stain. After you clean everything, try putting on Scotch Guard (or similar product) and will help get the stains out faster.

Maybe you can post some pictures for us for more help.

Good luck

Make sure he doesn't use too much water, and/or gets as much water out as possible. The only thing worse than dirty carpet is a rotting floor board!

Perhaps you can take some before and after pictures for us?

Good luck

Hi Ceace,

Try to rent the machine with the powerhead so that rotating brush gives the carpet a good scrubbing. My wife does the same thing with her shoes under the dash, it's quite annoying. When I armour all the interior I make sure to put a few extra coats on those areas so that it doesn't show right away and is easier to clean off.
