    Restoring a sheen to all weather mats without adding slickness???

    Would a rinseless wash and wax or duragloss aquawax work?

    Adam’s advanced Graphene spray coating works well.

    Will try Koch chemie guf when the Adam’s GSC I have runs out.

    McKee's mat cleaner is brilliant, then teamed with KCx Guf. Prior to Guf, I was using Carpro Perl heavily diluted.

    Would anyone be surprised if I say that Koch MotorPlast once helped me achieve an excellent result with similar mats ..?!?

    Believe it or not, I use Griot's Black Satin on my WeatherTech mats.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I’ve been using the Weather Tech twins for 5 years now. You don’t need much and it works great. Even on my 3D Max Spider mats.

    Was curious about the description for Gummifix/Guf. Definitely seems like it fits the bill.


    Koch Chemie Gummifix | Silicone Free Interior Plastic Care

    Non-greasy, silicone-oil-free rubber and plastic care for rubber foot mats, plastic floor surfaces and other interior areas in cars and commercial vehicles for which slip resistance is necessary. Makes surfaces appear ´as new‘.

    Areas of use
    Rubber foot mats, plastic floors, etc.

    Recommendations for use
    Use a sponge or a spray bottle to apply evenly to clean, dry surfaces, leave to dry

    It's a great product with a few differences to usual rubber dressings.

    Firstly, Guf smells and acts like it has a high IPA content. I would assume that is so it flashes away and leaves minimal residue behind, delivering that anti-slip finish. Probably best used in a well-ventilated area too, its pretty heady.

    Don't expect a night and day difference when you are done. Yes, it will look enhanced, but not like a traditional rubber dressing would impart. Again, that's the tradeoff for the anti-slip finish.

    Guf will be hard on sprayers. I'm running from a Kwazar sprayer, which has turned the soft, pliable rubber pickup tube hard as a carp. It also requires like 20-30 pumps to get the product flowing. Not sure this would apply to a Tolco or KCx's own Canyon type sprayer though.

    It works best sprayed on liberally, then wiped/scrubbed with a towel. But you can also use the supplied dispenser cap and apply the product to an applicator or folded towel to work it in.
