How to make rubber mats look new again!

How to Clean Rubber Floor Mats and Restore that brand New Finish in a few easy steps! This method is so Quick & Easy they will look new again, especially in the winter months with Road salt and grime.

Item Checklist

To Clean the mats exactly the same as I do here you will need:
A Stiff Brush
a Bucket or an old tub with water
Some multipurpose cleaner (⚠️ DO NOT USE ANYTHING WITH BLEACH IN)
vacuum cleaner optional not necessary
Some old microfibre cloths will be good enough provided they are clean and not contaminated

To restore the Finish of the Mats:
Thankfully using Infinity Wax Plastic Coat you can restore the appearance without the risk of it being a danger which you may find with slippery mats which have been treated with Tyre Dressings.

4:31 more slippery than politician...

Most accurate metaphor I think I've ever heard...😂

I have used ‘Carpro Perl’ in the past to finish off all sorts. Depending on the typical dilution ratio you can use it for Tyres (1-1), Dashboards, Plastics and Engine bay (1-5) and even rubber mats (1-10). A great multi-use product to have in the armoury.

That’s a great result, the mats looked awesome, thank you for the tips ❤.

I used the same IW Plastic Coat product Dave, when i got it in the mystery box in Spring. Did a cracking job on all my Subaru rubber mats. And wiped down before refitting, and had zero issues. but easy to clean each subsequent month.

Thank you for the video Dave. Good tips there 👍 .Another little trick to rejuvenate the look of rubber is to rub the surface with paint thinners. It makes the rubber look like new.

Theres a few other products out there that do this like Koch Chemie Gummifix and Bowdens Own Vinyl Restorer. Unfortunately a number of us have found out the hard way why we should have stayed away from the usual oil/silicone based dressings.

00:46 exactly - a balance has to be struck!
Ace vid as always, Dave!

It’s easier to hang the mat with a spring clamp and spray something non greasy like aerospace, working it in by hand is nice but there are far too many grooves. Protecting it in the sun is actually better give it a bit of time and will look new from sun

Great information dave! You've given me some ideas.

[bloozism]

I’m gonna whiz over it, and then we’ll get cracking
😂 I love your slang

Another good vid Dave, shame Leo was off sleeping today!

Best place to clean your rubber mats? Same place as my fell running shoes.
The bathtub

[alexisamtosta]

That brand Astonish has good stuff.

Elbow Grease also works well. Elbow Grease is excellent to remove paint.

[digitalcampi]

As long Leo approves we're good !

[sapte]

That slippery politician...good one. Somebody should stop using tyre dressing on them or they'll keep being a hazard

An APC is just an APC regardless, some brands make good some make terrible, find the one that works for you. I like Koch Chemie Green Star and Koch Chemie Gummyfix which is a nonslip rubber dressing. Looks like new without that glazed doughnut look and a safe non slip coating, it works well on pedalstoo. It last a long time too. Not that expensive either 🎉

I do the council clean. Bucket of hot water with Fairy liquid and a stiff shoe cleaning brush. Ri see down witha hose pipe / jet wash

Any tips on getting rid of the smell of new rubber mats?
