I love my cl, but I have to drive a few miles on a dirt road everyday and I cant keep the interior clean or the engine bay or body for that matter because of all the dust generated by driving sixty on dry dirt. Anyway armor all-cleaning wipes take care of all the plastic pieces and any dirt thatgets ground in, but my carpet keeps getting nastier because of all the dust, Its actually turning a rust type color except for where the mats go so the carpet looks pretty filthy despite bi-monthly applications of resolve and plenty of vaccuming.

So my plan is to remove the carpet and dye it black that way it hides dust better, and I think it would look pretty sweet with the tan two tone interior. So has anybody done this?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Sorry but it sounds like you need a pick up truck brotha!

Yeah I think that some time Veil Side but then I remember our CLs come stock with a lift kit so I figure hell the rally scene better watch out for me.

If you want to hide the dust, I wouldn't dye it black. Dirt shows up on black more easily than any other color. My carpet is black and it looks dirty the second after I clean it. Try dying it "dust" colored. IMO the best color to hide dirt is tan.

True but its more the dark stains that bother me which are mostly ground in mud

I used to party with a carpet cleaner guy and he told me to NEVER use Resolve. They charged people more if they used that shit, cause it made the dirt stick worse. Try blue coral spot and stain remover, it's a little more expensive but it should get those stains out. besides dupont helped make pot illegal in the thirties! :sqntfawk:

Actually mbuna I just recently got fed up with Resolve and I just bought some blue coral before making this post and yeah it really did a great job, but not enough besides I think this is turning into more of a custom interior thing.
