Take it to a dry cleaners that clean horse rugs, it'll come back like new for about £20.

Well worth the money, no hassle.

I did my red one at the weekend. Autoglym cleaner and a jet wash. You almost need sunglasses in the car now. It came up great. While it was out I put some fire retardent home insulation under it too. It made such a difference. It feels warm in the car most of the time And a hell of a lot quieter.

Exactly what i did mate :agree:
I used a roll of the Space Blanket wrapped insulation from Wickes, worked really well.

Haha great minds and all that.!! I was so surprised at the difference. I suppose it's because the only insulation/soundproofing is under the pedal area. All the rest of the floor is carpet on metal. Im gonna do the rear when I carpet The back as I have no rear seats etc. :cool:
