How to make rubber mats look new again!

[@kwl189]

4:31 more slippery than politician... Most accurate metaphor I think I've ever heard...😂

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Lol 😂

[@cholomondeleybiscuitt]

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.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah some products you can definitely get away with on rubber 👌

[@mikeflynn4373]

The best...simple.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you 🙏

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.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah it's great product

[@snsum2853]

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.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah we all been there my friend, myself included

[@skodakatie7341]

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you Katie

[@karl3927]

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.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

haven't tried that myself but always worth investigating

Another fantastic and informative video Dave

cheers Mark

[@petecurran3995]

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you

[@alexisamtosta]

That brand Astonish has good stuff. Elbow Grease also works well. Elbow Grease is excellent to remove paint.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah it worked a treat for £1

[@ronanmc2112]

Great common sense video and great results. ‘More slippery than a politician’ 😂😂

[@jonnyshielldetailing]

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you 🙏

4.25 mins in.more slippery than a politician 😊brilliant

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

100% truth lol

[@79blustone]

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 🎉

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

Great advice thank you

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you 🙏

[@Alanst1xx]

Thats a brilliant idea thanks

[@pigeonpoo1823]

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

lol fair play it does the job

[@BDX55]

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

[@bloozism]

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I grew up in the ghetto 🤣

[@PixelVogue]

Simples!

[@digitalcampi3289]

As long Leo approves we're good !

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

he sure does lol

[@trevorshields7347]

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Nothing wrong with that 👌

[@sapte62]

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

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I drove the Audi this morning with plastic coat, zero slips. Was so impressed

[@kwl189]

Would have thought APC like Surfex HD at 5 to 10% sprayed on and a standard drill brush would suffice? Drill taking the effort out of it?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

To be honest you don't need all that but in the odd rare occasions when it's really bad then definitely reckon it would help

[@riseagainstfb]

Would baby oil work on the shining part ? I laughed so hard on the getting out of bed and gotta clean my rubber mats thought 😂😂😂 oh dear

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I'm not sure personally if that's a good idea... Maybe ask P Diddy 😂

[@simonmarsh5007]

Car pro pearl is good stuff but have to get the right dilution or they can be a bit dangerous 😂,

[@daveroberts703]

Could you do a short on best removal of greasy makeup and tanning lotions please they are or seen to be very difficult to remove and not a quick fix. Thank you legend. 👍🙌

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Sure thing 👌

[@daveroberts703]

@@epicautomotivedetailing thank you

[@JensKristianJacobsen]

Koch-Chemie Green Star and Koch-Chemie Gummifix :)

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I did notice them but many other channels have featured that so I thought I'd go with something equally brilliant

[@V0udka]

​@epicautomotivedetailing Would Autoglym vinyl/rubber care be good as a final cleaner on rubber mats? I like the way it works on the dash and doors, it's like dirt catches less.

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

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

[@patrickroos739]

Or you do them all in one go with APC, big car brush, and high pressure wash them, done, any rubber/vinyl trim restorer will make them look new

[@peemick]

Noice, like to see that youve still got the TT, and surprised the Mrs hasnt whipped itnoff you yet 😂

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

She's got the Kia now so I'm keeping the Audi

[@danb2837]

You brought those mats to an 11.

[@ParitoshDeore]

Hahahahahahhaahha @4:24

[@daveroberts703]

More slippy than a politician 🤣🤣

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

True facts right here 😂

[@malcolmsmith9834]

Sorry to correct you but that's a bowl not a bucket.😳😂

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I said it because I was looking at my line of buckets to the side of me but couldn't be arsed to refilm lol

[@andrewmcglashan5041]

Jetwash them 😉

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

This video isn't aimed at people with jet washes on this occasion

[@A.C.P1969]

No one wants to use dirty rubbers Dave 🤫🤔🫣😜
