Carpet Cleaner

What's the best cleaner to use to rejuvenate the fibers of the carpet?

This isn't the answer you're looking for, but for major stains and other general wear I vacuum or steam it, then use shaving cream to take out the really bad stuff.

Not sure if there's a better product out there.

As long as it isnt faded, take the interior out, remove the carpet, put it in the back of a truck take it to a car wash, hang it up on those mat clips they have on the wall, use tire cleaner, and spray the **** out of them.. For seat covers remove the hog staples, and slide the covers off the seats, insert them into the wash machine, and then put them back on all done, nice and clean

If it's faded and the fibers are coming out, it's pretty much toast. I haven't found anything to bring 'em back from that condition. Taking out the hog rings and then re-installing the seat covers CORRECTLY is not the easiest task for most people. You need a steamer to really do it right. Prior experience helps, too. Just my two-cents worth. -Mike
