Whats the best product for cleaning the carpets and stuff like that. My white carpet isnt too white in places and i'd like to get it looking alot better i cant stand it right now. And what should i use to clean the inside of the convertable top. Its really dirty, almost looks like one of the previous owners went driving in the rain with the targa out and all the water went in the back and ran down everything. I've tryed a few different product on it but none will actually clean it. I wonder if my new steam cleaner would help?

you have a white carpet? Bleach and hot water and a shop vac.

Try your steam cleaner for the headliner

also for the carpet get some degreser like simple green, or go to

a detailing supplier and get some shampoo, put it in a bucket with some

hot water and use a sponge and a scrub brush to scrub the areas, then use

a shop vac wet-dry vac to suck up the water.

those headliners are hard to clean by the way, they are almost like a

suede and sometimes when you try to clean a headliner they just end up

looking worse.

I did a top last year, the seats are getting done this year, next I want to maybe change the leather on the door panel to black suede, then after that if I still own the car I will deal with the carpet, for now some custom floor mats hide it anyhow. Besides, if you dont have a garage to park the car in the leaky top will ruin the new carpet anyhow.
