As we're not supposed to use wet shampoo stuff due to moisture etc, what do your respective butlers use to clean the shagpile in your vehicles?

Is it a spray that dries up which he then vacuums up?

I'll give it a go.

Need to get the leather cleaned too. Think I need to get some dye as well as the wear marks are looking grey. Makes the leather a bit meh

With stuff being dumped inside ( like generators and engine wiring harnesses) the mats in the rear were a mess with oil marks. I have just scrubbed one of them with swarfega and washed it under the kitchen tap ! It's hung up in the garage right now to dry. At least the mats save the carpet.
let me know what you use on the leather.

The carpet mats are easy enough with some spray stuff and the Dyson, it's the actual carpet that's bothering me. And the leather of course.

Wonder if there's a lightstone dye/cleaner/food that can be used.
