2006 260 with water leak

The thought had crossed my mind, but they didn't have the color "Chesapeake Bay Runoff" in the dye section. :lol:

Isn't that the same thing as coffee. Just pour a pot of fresh brew on her. :grin:

skibum,

What did you use to get the "coffee" :lol: stain out? I have tried the old vinegar and water solution but no success. :huh: Thanks in advance!

It is a cleaner called "Purple Power" available at auto parts stores. I got mine at Advance Auto Parts. I think Autozone also carries it. Car detailers use it for everything. It comes in a gallon jug and you mix it with water. I used about a 50/50 mix in a spray bottle. I soaked the carpet, then took a stiff brush and worked it in. After scrubbing a bit, I took some white terry cloth towels and soaked up as much of it as I could. The cleaner just suspends the dirt, it is the towels that actually remove the dirt. I just kept rubbing in small circles and crisscross patterns until it was mostly dry. Good thing that section is only 2'x3' or so. No way I would do it on a much larger area. At any rate, it took 2 sessions and about 10 clean towels to get it looking good. It looked great but wasn't completely dry when I left the boat, so I won't know for sure how it turned out until sometime tonight or tomorrow.

I like the Purple Power, but I would imagine that any carpet cleaner like Resolve would have worked also.
