Hmmm. Well i just did my floor mats and had to fold the front ones a little just to get them to fit in the container, and now i can see creases where the dye didn't bond as well. How did you avoid that when you did the carpet? You must of had a very large container....

I see how this works for black, but anyone think this will work going from a grey to a darker grey? Also, how would I go from black to grey? SEM? just looking for suggestions...

Sorry to bump again.....how long did you leave this soak in the trash can? How many times did you drain and refill with hot water? Or did you just do it once and let it soak?
