The guy i bought my car from spilled coffee all over the front mat. Has anyone been able to get a stain like that out in their car?

Ooooo, I gotta get in one this one also. I've spilt coffee around my cup holder and down on the matt & rug. Thank god it's at least the blue intior instead of tan.

Yah that's about the same place as mine. It looks really bad in the sunlight. I heard the stock cup holders don't drinks very well. I tried that oxyclean stuff, it doesnt work at all. I just want it out ...

I used that Tuff Stuff. It comes with a brush on top. It worked well on getting out stains out of my interior. Good stuff.

I use Armor All all purpose interior cleaner- Use this generously on the stain ans scrub with a damp cloth- it also does wonders on oil skin stains on the plastic in the car.....worse case scenario- get a little green machine from walmart for 70 bucks- I use one of those also. (I have always loved detailing my own car- now I do it for others to survive!!!!) An always remember- test whatever you use under you seats first- some products may bleach the carpet or just make it look worse- STAY AWAY FROM OXYCLEAN. It does clean butnot like what they say. There were alot of soda and coffe/grime stains in my car when I bought it...the dealer couldn't even get them out- that Armor All did the trick. PM me with any other quesstions you have.

Thanks I'm going to get some today, the previous owner didnt respect the power of SVT...

Go to WalMart and get some Lifter 1. This stuff will get ANYTHING out! Trust me, I have three kids and a tan interior!

I just want to chime in and say Ive heard and I'm not sure because I haven't tried it but somebody I talked to whom I must say had the CLEANEST SVT around said "brake cleaner will get anything out. It stinks, but works wonders".
