Hi all, coming back home, I had Cuprinol paint in boot of my car, unopened. On opening boot found out the lid had come off and the paint had spilt in the boot, acrpet soiled. Had wiped with tissues but this has left white mark on the carpet. How can I get this cleaned if doing myself? Any suggestions

sorted byIf water based, just take the carpet out if possible and hose it down.
Anything else, may be worth doing the same now BEFORE it dries!
Else some carpet stain removers or thinners may work
Then as others have said, get it out & jet wash it. Failing that, go to a scrap yard & get a second hand one in good condition or use a rug. (edited)
Was one of those "God please make that didn't happen" moments
It's water based so does wash out. Takes a lot of washing though.
Even managed to save half the paint scooped out of the footwell....

Also there is a product called pretty boy but I'd go with the the spray.
Whatever you use it may effect the original matt colour especially if you leave on too long. I've not had that happen to me yet but what rep told me (edited)
I would of jet washed it immediately when it had just happened, im guessing if you let it dry you'll never get it back to normal
