Hello everyone. I'm under contract and going to a survey this week on a 2005 280 with 5.0 engines. Is there a separate 280 forum?

Also the carpet inside has (rust?) staining adjacent to the fridge. Has anyone been successful getting that out.

Thx in advance
 
Congrats on the purchase! I am a new 280 owner as well. There is a dedicated thread (200+ pages long) in the sport cruisers forum that has everything you'll want to know.

Mine had the same staining and I got the majority of it out with resolve carpet cleaner, a stiff bristle brush and water/wet dry vac.
 
Congrats to both of you on the purchase. I have never tried this but, I wonder if a little CLR on a rag with light blotting could remove the rust stains? I don't know if it would affect the color fastness of the carpet in that area. I would possibly try it in an area under a hatch or something first to see if it changes the carpet color. Good luck!
 
Enjoy the new ride! We have an '05 280 with twin 4.3's. Get FOLEX for the carpet. It is a miracle stain remover. Have removed rust stains in our carpet around the dining table socket from a rubrail leak. Works incredibly well. Used a scrub brush, blotted with paper towels, and that's all she wrote!

You can find it at Home Depot, Wal Mart, etc. Great stuff!
