carpet stain

I've got a bad carpet stain that seems to never go away. I have tried shampooing it, but have had very little success. The stain almost looks like it is from an oil spill. Any advise or recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Try spraying it with Fantastic and rubbing the spot with your finger in a circular motion to loosen the stain. Follow up with a clean damp towel to lift the stain. This works great for me since I always keep a bottle of Fantastic on board.

This stuff got a small oil stain out of my carpet really well:

They carry it at Target.

I have yet to find anything that stands up to my pressure washer. After all, it is a boat, was meant to get wet.
