Looking for suggestion for a product to maintain new look on rubber floor mats.

Dont like the way the black mats...kinda look dull and greyish black after a while. Also dont want them slick.

Saw weather Tec makes one.

I use the WeatherTech protectant. Their cleaner is nothing special but the protectant works well.

DP has a cleaner/protectant.
McKee's has a floor mat/cargo liner rejuvinator.

I've used Meguiar's Hyper Dressing diluted 50/50 on our rubber floor mats and it looked ok. Honestly, I don't care if the rubber mats look a little greyish. As long as their CLEAN and free from dirt and debris thats all that matters to me.

If you want to dress yours, check out this video:

I have been using the BF on my floor liners. No complaints. And I like the fact it's 32oz.

BLACKFIRE Mat Cleaner & Protectant - 32 oz. (autogeek.net) (https://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-mat-cleaner-protectant.html)

Might want to give #253 A look also.

Hmm...I may opt for the Duragloss...two birds one stone...I am getting low on Tire stuff anyway.

I made the mistake of using DG 253 on my weather techs. Looked great...but OMG....this made the mats so slippery and potential dangerous until the 253 wore off. Not just clean with APC.

I think I'm going to give BF mat cleaner & protectant a try. :xyxthumbs:

I have heard that some wipe off their mats after a drying period with a microfiber towel, which removes most of the slipperiness but I admit I haven’t tried DG 253 on mats due to other comments like yours.

The Blackfire Mat Cleaner and Protectant is very good.

I used weatherTech’s, Mckee’s and Chem guys rubber matt products.

Adam’s Graphene spray coating was best product I used.

Firstly, don't bother wasting money on the Chemical Guys Mat Renew, it's garbage. While it foams up nicely, it doesn't actually do any cleaning or enhancing like the label says it does.

I have been using the McKee's version of late, which seems much better. This Subaru cargo mat I topped with a some heavily diluted Carpro Perl, enough to bring some richness back without making the surface slippery.

I have also been using Koch Chemie GUF, a product specifically designed for rubber mats and doesn't make them slippery.

After a good cleaning, too get back the original look....

Adams " In & out" trim spray works great....problem is, you need 1/2 a can to get the job done right
Or
Griots "Trim & Detail" spray....basically the same product
