Unless you have all-weather floor mats, then just blast them at a self car wash. _____________________________ JP 2001 Civic EX Coupe MT "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side” (in reply to gooberguy) Post #: 2

I do need to get some new ones though, they're getting pretty beat up and have a chalky appearance now _____________________________ Black '97 Civic LX Sedan D16Y7 5 Speed (in reply to gooberguy) Post #: 3

When we detail our customers cars, we use an enzymatic cleaner to actually dissolve the stains, and then a product called Capture (it's for carpets, I think Home Depot sells it) to seal it and make it smell fresh.  < Message edited by bakertime -- 3/13/2008 6:37:16 AM > _____________________________ 2001 Civic EX 5 Spd - FS: http://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_535013/tm.htm (in reply to Try.Fail.Repeat) Post #: 4
