Black matts, red carerra lettering, or at least it used to be. Driver's side lettering is hammered! Any good stuff out there to return the red back to red?

I don't know how well it will bring back the coloring....but for my interior and mats as well as general cleanup....the best solution I have found is a 1 to 8 solution of Woolite. It brought out the red PORSCHE lettering in my floormats....and it seems to do a damn good job of cleaning just about anything. I mix up the solution then take a wash cloth and soak then wring out the rag, and start to cleaning it a patch at a time....rinsing the cloth out as I go. Then let it dry....vacuum it, then clean again as needed. You'd be surprised how well Woolite actually works...cleans leather too...but dont' use it on Alcantra.

+1 on above. If you have access to a product like Meguiar's All purpose cleaner that will work very well also - you spray it on, agitate it a bit with a soft brush, then vacuum it out, much like the woolite. Good luck!

I haven't tried it yet, but on my 'things to do list' is to try some Molecule suit wash in a situation like this.

I have used it on my son's karting suits and I was stunned at how the grease, fuel, oil and chain lube (stuff that nothing can take out of a suit) was removed.
Yes, I was incredibly skeptical at first, but amazed at how this stuff works (pre wash spray bottle, followed by a wash concentrate).

+2 on the diluted Woolite, works beautifully and is mild.

Not sure I would try this on Porsche mats but on my wifes DD Honda I used a pressure wash on the lettering, it looks as new again. I haven't noted any adverse affects yet (been a couple of months now).

Note that the wand should be kept at a distance and set at the wand adjustment. The pinpoint adjustment will damage the fibers (ask me how I know )

I use portable Green Machine carpet cleaner.

Not sure I want to chance my pressure washer on the matt or spend the cash for a carpet cleaner, but woolight sounds like a winner!

I don't think I'd try the pressure washer either....but just give the Woolite a try...a hell of a lot less expensive and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness....what have you got to lose? I do use it on the floor mats with great results...as well as the carpeting and even as a cleaner for the leather by using a washcloth soaked, the wrung out and rubbed over the surface, the soaked again and wrung out ....then follow up with a good leather conditoner. Beats the hell out of some of those $10 specialty items.
