Sun through the glass, grit off boots and years of hoovering pull the colour out of the pile, and no amount of shampooing brings it back — the dye has gone, not the dirt. Elements Xpert Black Dye is a fast-drying, high-opacity solvent-based fabric dye in an aerosol that puts the black back into mats, carpet and interior fabric in a single pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-opacity solvent stain, so it covers grey and patchy areas rather than tinting them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAerosol delivery lays an even coat across a whole mat in seconds, with no brush marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast drying, so a set of mats can be done and back in the car the same day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on carpet mats, boot liners, parcel shelves and interior fabric trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be sprayed into the cap and brushed into piping, edges and tight corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500ml can — enough for a full set of mats on most cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a car going up for sale, where tired grey mats undo an otherwise spotless interior.

Overspray from an aerosol travels further than it looks, and black dye on a door sill or a seat base is a far bigger job than the mats ever were.
