this has been prolly covered a million times but i thought id annoy everyone. just resprayed my carpets in septone spray cans. took about six cans and looks heaps better but noticably stiff. problem is that the spray didnt get to the bottom of the pile despite brushing etc. anyone thought of another method...using solvents or other water soluble dyes? everyone goes on about vht brand but supercheap were having a sale so i thought what the hell, and they didnt have vht. is vht any different. hmm.

Get any colour you want delivered to your door for $16 a can.

Thanks adam,sebastian, might be a bit late though. maybe i should have looked for vht. Just thinking today since ive used nearly six 400g cans my car is going to be a bit heavier.

i used 4 and a bit on my old falcons carpet/parcel shelf, its RANCID stuff, made the car stink like a chromers house for a good 2 weeks, and started to fade off after about a month. if you can just get new carpet in the colour you want.

You are correct about the lingering aroma of VHT. Im used to it but the missus cant stand it.

aaron im glad you had a similar experience. well not glad per se but glad im not the only one who is mildly dissapointed. im wonder if you were able to mix in some paint with some thinners into something else and really soak the bastard down to the pile. i dont feel like ripping up my whole carpet and dyeing or replacing.
