2 hours work for nothing!

BB33's · Dec 3, 2008

Hey guys I cleaned my carpets the other day and it tok me 2 hours! I pulled out the wet vac, steam cleaner, everything I could freakin' find, I kinda just got cleaning crazy! I finished at night aand could.t check it out so I opted to wait till today. Well I went out to da Bronco and the carpets were horrible! Spots and stains everywhere and worse than I started! The previous owner dyed the carpets and I washed the dye right out in my cleaning frenzy! Anybody know of a good carpet dye? The carpet itself is in good condition minus the stains so I think a good dye will work.

Rix dye is good for clothing but I'm not sure how well it would work on carpeting...

Talk to an auto detailing shop, they often dye carpets to get rid of stains or sun fading, etc.

if you find some let me know, i've got some rust spots that i havent been able to get out even with a presure washer.

Just to update anyone who was intested I ended up using a couple cans of Duplicolor vinyl and fabric spray in medium grey. It worked great and is a shade darker than stock but I like it better. It sprayed on like spray paint and took only4 hours too completely dry. I used two light and one heavy coats. I'll post a pic when possible. Oh and jsomedaysoon, they have a lighter shade at Autozone that is supposed to match stock. 3 Cans did the whole truck and only cost 6.89 a can.

i've heard of that stuff before but i figured it would get all crusty like regular spray paint when you sprayed carpet? it turned out good though huh? i might try that.

It looked good but was crusty to the touch so I misted it with a spray bottle and vaccumed it.
