hey folks, while I'm waiting for my carpet to dry after giving it a good shampoo, steam clean and jet wash, I find myself wondering if I should go for jet black or more of a charcoal?
The car is diamond black with cardinal red interior, what do you guys think would look best?
I enquiried about the auto smart product which has had great reviews on here and elsewhere. I would use that if I go for dark grey but they don't seem to do jet black. Can anyone recommend any tried and tested brand that would supply jet black.
Cheers
Dying carpets, jet black or dark grey & what brand?

I used valeters pride black dye, the more coats you add the darker it will get.

I also used valeters pride. If you have a polishing machine you can get a brush attachment which makes life so much easier when dying!
