Products for rubber floor mats?

[dougaross]

Any recommendations for treating rubber floor mats without making them slippery? It seems like any products for rubber say not to use them on mats, pedals, etc.

I would only wash them regularly. It's like the steering wheel, better safe than sorry. All you need is for your foot to slip off the brake and hit someone.

I have all weather rubber hexomats that I use APC on, scrub and spray off. I let them dry off in the sun and I have not had any issues with them. They didn't feel slippery afterwards, but this may be due to the hex pattern on the mat as the reason I haven't had any problems.

Wash with soap & water, air dry and maybe use a mild rubber treatment/conditioner to keep them soft and not slick .....

Does anyone have experience with Duragloss Tire & Rubber Mat Dressing?

Dressing, generally makes rubber look shinny . Just wash them.

I just wash them, and then use a bit of Meg's Quik Interior Detailer on them.

Have you found a rubber conditioner that will do this? I tried 303 AP on the passenger side and it was very slick. 303 Vinyl & Fabric Cleaner does a good job of cleaning without making slippery. OPC works well too.

I clean with Opticlean and dry ... no dressing and no slippery mess that could cause an accident.

I have used it on exterior window weatherstrips. It has silicon and I believe wouldnt be safe on mats.. I agree with Alan T. and others except I have used APC's with good results too!

Killr do you mean Power Clean or Opti Clean. Opti Clean is loaded with polymers which I would have been slick on a mat. If thats what you meant, I will try it!

I use 303 AP on the matts in my Jeep and in the Audi. I wiped it on and then went over it with another towel.

I never found it to be slippery.

I have found that ONR mixed a little stronger than regular dilution rate for rinseless wash after an APC clean leaves mats with a deep, rich, black look. I know some detailers who use this method on motorcycle tires and seats.

I made the huge mistake a couple years ago of putting Finish Kare's Top Kote on some rubber floor mats. Talk about slippery! Aye Carumba! :eek:

I always worry about slips of the foot when cleaning these... I put all the detail products away and use a nice soft brush and Dawn dish soap. never fails.
