Carpet cleaning

What does everyone use to take stains out of the carpet in their car. I have orange coolant stains from where my heater core went bad that are driving me nuts. Anybody have any good products to take stuff like this out?

I have used Blue Coral upholstery cleaner. You should be able to find it just about anywhere.
After I use it I rinse it with some water.
Good luck

Yeah, I tried the Blue Corral stuff and it's just not doing it. I'm going to take it by a detailer and have them see if they can get the stains out. If not I can always just put some lightweight aftermarket carpet in it...

Try calling up your local Stanley Steemer. I used to work for them way back in the day. If you drive your car into their shop, they should only charge you like $35, and they will clean your carpet, seats, and floor mats. Trust me when I say, if they can't get the stain out, it ain't comin' out!

Plus a lot of off the shelf carpet cleaners won't due much, or may harm your carpet/seat matereal, or you have some like spot shot that will look like they cleaned it, but leave a soapy residue that over time attracts more dirt and you end up worse off than where you began.
