cooke Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Is it hard to get the carpets out, does all the dash and trim have to be removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 valeters pride i used this it does what it says on the tin ,you need to let it dry for 48 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I used the Valeters Pride stuff too and didn't have any problems with bleeding. Did you spray it on in a few light coats or soak the carpet in dye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you spray it on in a few light coats or soak the carpet in dye? hi mate yeah sprayed it in 6 light coats and waited about half hour between coats as was messing about with other bits on the car. as said was done monday and left out to dry till friday and was bone dry rubbed hand over it and had a very very light black dust on my hand as you would think you would get just for abit of over spary drying before the rest. then then fitted in the car all good only to find that the water from wet ground outside made it bleed the dye again!!!. what did i do wrong if anything?? how can i seal it in so it dont put dye over everything lol......

Darragh Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I used about 6 tins of autoglym (£5 or something a tin) my carpet came out very well and has no issue of it coming back off, the only reason I used the autoglym was I got two tins off it and when I started I realised two tins simply wasn't enough expensive mistake but then it fone the job and looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
