Coffee stain help please?

Hey guys,

I have a Cobra H extractor and some of the best chemicals out there to do what I do and I have a clients vehicle coming back in approximately a week to hopefully remove a stain that everything I tried so far has not removed.

Whew, ok, the point. I am curious because I have not used it yet if the Wolfgang Spot Eliminator would be a good product to use on a very established mocha stain? Have any of you used this or would you recommend I purchase something else.

The vehicle is a 2007 Mercedes Benz GL450 with silver carpet. Eeek! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks....................................................Chris

Re: Coffee stain help please?

Are you sure it was "just coffee"?

Coffee stains have never been a problem with me...red fruit juice, on the other hand...

For certain a Starbucks mocha. What are you using on your coffee stains then?

I may try the vinegar and water but I would also like to know if I should buy someones product that works really well.

Thanks. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I took a red wine stain out of beige carpet with Meguiar's Quick Out.

I've removed quite a few tough stains, including coffee stains with Spray 'n Wash with Resolve Power. Just spray, agitate, and extract thoroughly.

Coffe stains are easily removed by folex, so it may be that if its a mocha its a chocolate stain you are delaing with.
