yup. best $6 i ever spent on any car i've had. it dosent work on seats or headliners, but auto carpet it works great with. plus it blends any thin spots in and covers over all the stains.

it sounds like a cheap deal but i think i will just go to a pick and pull cause the carpet in my car is absolutly trashed from grease on my work shoes and people that dont clean there shoes off before they get in my car. its a pain in the *** to keep it clean.

every 5th gen is trashed in the carpet department, lol. both of mine were. trust me, after vacuming the crap out of it & 2-3 coats of black paint it'll look like brand new, and if it gets messed up again, just mask it off in the car and blend some more paint in might as well try if you pull the carpet...

My carpets arent trashed but there worn out/faded. You can paint you carpet just make sure its a dye and not a paint.

Speak for youself. Mine is in good condition still. The back seats and the front passenger carpet look brand new still. My drivers side carpet has some salt stains but just barely. Still vacuums out nice. I have to thank the PO for keeping the car in such good condition. I try and follow his lead but it would be a full time job to keep it as clean as he did lol.
