this carpet has me cornered

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if those are protein stains, won't OPC set them in?

You might need ptotein based cleaner. Can't recall what some are ATM.

Carpets are a dirty filthy beast.
I get all my carpet cleaning advise from Professional Carpet Cleaners.
They mostly say not to use heat and most stains won't come out. Do to the fact that they have been set for years and I meen years. They spilled that coffee 5 years ago and they think the stain will come out? No way.
All you can do is clean it.
Car Carpet isn't as durable as most people think.
I only use professional carpet cleaning products and I'm still surprised at what can't be cleaned.
Find a local Janitorial Supply House and check with them for the right stuff.

I think this is one of the greatest carpet cleaning posts in AGO history. Many people can learn from this. Most stains can NOT be removed, no matter the process or chemicals used.

The first thing I would do is use a stiff brush and brush the stain prior to vaccumming. This will loosen some of the stain from the carpet. Vaccum the carpet and proceed with Folex. Spray it and let it dwell. Get the carpet damp to the touch with the folex. Then agitate with a stiff brush and blot with a white terry cloth towel. This is gonna take time. Steam and extra at the end

Although I don't see the hype everyone is giving folex. I bought some, it worked ok. I gave mine away. I now use prochem liquid slurry, cheaper and works waaaay better. I've had stubborn stains like the OP, and tried APC, Folex, Laundry soap with oxyclean without getting the stain out. I tried those products with an extractor first, then steam after. I had gotten a sample of the prochem from a local cleaner and tried it and it took out 80% the first pass, the rest on the second pass. If you still haven't gotten out the stains(if its your personal vehicle) try the prochem stuff.

If you've tried the neutralizing the pH approach, agitated, steamed, swabbed and are not getting results, remove the entire carpet from the vehicle, pretreat and pressure wash it. If somebody Scotch-Garded that stain in, mechanical flushing is the bottom line.

One interim step you haven't tried is enzyme pretreat and a Tornador. Never seen a carpet that can't be cleaned.

If someone has tried to clean them before the stains may be set and they will not be removed. You may want to try Meguiars takin stain remover

Yeah I was going to agree with everyone. They are as clean as youre going to get them it seems. Without dye they are done.
