Default Tuff Stuff...

never too late for a quick reminder of the wonders that Tuff Stuff will do for your carpet, vinyl and plastic door sill covers. Great stuff is what it should be called.

I love this stuff it works on everything!

I bought case of this stuff online a few years ago after a cop firend of mine introduced it to me, the detail guy that cleaned the cruisers turned him on to it.

hmmm,, does it work on seat belts too? i got some grease stains on my seatbelts (only stains in the entire car other than the floor mats) and i don't feel like disassembling the entire seat belt to wash them.

Works wonders on seat belts, like said spray it on anything and it will come off. I'm talking bout years of stains & dirt will come out or pretty much gone.

I've seen this at Autozone. I'll swing by after work to be sure. That's the only product I've not used on carpet.

I've found that a product called Dri Clean works real well also.

i used some damn resolve carpet cleaner (house) spray stuff on my floor mats one day after a very greasy man left stains on my drivers side mat after a budget oil change and although it worked well my car smelled like that crap for literally 2 weeks... no joke i thought the smell would never go away. almost not even worth the clean mats at that point

sort of like the french fries from 5 guys (local dc hamburger chain),, best fries but you have to drive with your windows cracked if you are bringing them home to eat or your car will smell like them for the next 5 days

Nope... I use it on my carpet, the plastic trim at the bottom of the seats (front corner), everywhere. I don't use it on the leather. That is reserved for Zaino. I do however use the cloth with Tuff Stuff on it to clean my wood and dash.
