Cleaning OEM All Weather Mats

LarrySinNJ · 03-09-2009, 09:48 PM

What is the best way to get these now covered in road salt pups clean? I've tried the auto wash solution with a stiff brush, but that really doesn't work that well.

I clean mine with dishwashing soap and a stiff bristled brush, but no road salt here, plenty of other crap though. Cleans them up pretty good and mine are gray so they really show the grime.

I use the dish soap as well, then 303 Protectant when it's dry.

Scrub brush and some Simple Green will work.

303 to dress and your done

Simple green diluted....10 to 1 I think is the ratio on the bottle.

Do not use Armor All or other greasy protectant!

My dealer thought he was doing me a favor detailing my interior. Instead was very slippery!

I use Meguiars APC and then follow up with a damp MF with some optimum protectant on it. They look like new and are not slippery this way.
