HOW TO MAKE YOUR RUBBER FLOOR MATS LOOK NEW AGAIN | All Weather Mats

[@bstewartexecutivecarcare3797]

Saw this video about a month ago, tried the gummy flex and was definitely impressed. I have weather tech mats and have tried a few other products with negligible results. My only issue is make sure to use outdoors as it has a strong isopropyl smell. But it dissipates as it dries. So far it has lasted well over a month in my daily driver. As mentioned preparation is key, but I highly recommend it. 👍✌️☮️

[@Static_MK3Focus]

Green star works amazingly to clean the floor mats. 1 : 10 with a brush does the trick no problem, I got a new product to use now after I clean them now!

[@steve8803]

Any type of soap will do the trick. I've had perfect results will regular car wash soap and dish soap. Easiest to use a drill with a brush attachment.

[@derrickabare9986]

I just use a tire cleaner. At the moment malco whitewall. Hang on a matt clamp . Rinse and while wet spay with water based plastic/ vinyl cleaner and let dry . Comes out great and not slick

[@rodandow1971]

I purchased the Gummixfix GUF from Josh and I agree it is a game changer! I highly recommend this product!

[@jaysoncarlos8651]

I’ve been waiting for this kind of floor mat restoration product. Thank you for sharing it, you’re Awesome! More power to you and your channel 👍👊🚘

[@Aswaguespack]

Nice looking results!

[@rickt5457]

Gotta add water to it to test slickness. A wet shoe could reactivate chemicals and cause a slick surface

[@juliojcadalsob1345]

I was gonna ask that

[@shkmario]

I’m from Austria and have used this product for two years. It is absolutely not slippery, trust me! Rain or snow, you are not going to have problems, not even the slightest. To my knowledge, it’s the only product on the market specifically made for this purpose, and it does the job perfectly. Of course, you can use it for other things as well, any plastic or rubber.

[@robertrobertson5120]

Another fine demonstration... thanks

[@ouarkie]

That was a super good tip about hitting the mat in all 4 directions with the pressure washer. I have never thought about that. But looking forward to trying it on next interior detail.

Can you use Gummyfix to maintain and protect car door rubber seal?

[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

Don’t use it for that. The cost wouldn’t make sense. Use a silicone spray instead. It will work way better on rubber seals at a fraction of the cost.

[@gunsnsails]

This is what I've been needing. I'm anxious to see how all test results come out. (Longevity and maintenance specifically)

[@Z22-m5o]

How long does it last ? Tyring to decide between this and chemical matt renew.

I mix AJAX powder (WITHOUT BLEACH!!!), windex, and dawn dish soap. This concoction work miracles. Good on carpet too.

Use black liquid shoe polish first to darken the worn spots, then continue with the process.

I love Gummifix, Also love PSS applied the same way sprayed onto an applicator pad for a tyre dressing and for exterior plastics. Game changer for me and thought I’d never move away from Perl! Have you tried?

[@jasoncraig6158]

What kind of longevity you seeing from PSS?

[@ItsRyan.]

@@jasoncraig6158 Easy 2-3 weeks during the Winter months in the UK so possibly more during the summer. I generally try to wash once a week and reapply every wash so longevity isn’t something I pay a lot of attention too

[@mackaybrown9579]

I have been watching a ton of your videos as I have been getting into car detailing. They are very well made and very helpful! Keep it up! Do you know anything about the 3200 Husqvarna pressure washer from Costco? I just barely bought the greenworks pro 2300 from Amazon after watching your review on it but today I saw the Husqvarna for sale making them the same price. The Husqvarna has more psi and gpm. For car detailing that extra psi won’t make much of a difference but I’d also like to be able to use the pressure washer for cleaning my fence, driveway, house, etc. Any thoughts as to which would be more versatile? Which would be more likely to last longer? I’d maybe guess that the gas powered engine might make the Husqvarna more serviceable after a lot of use.

[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

Wow looks promising. Maybe the formula is something similar to trim restoring products

Great video Josh! I have a few words of advice, I noticed you are scrambling around on a hard surface on your knees and think you should consider subing a kneeling pad or mat. Take it from one who knows. As a young man it doesn't bother you all that much but the constant abuse over years will take its toll. Protect those knees please!

[@imjoshv]

Hi Phil yeah that’s great advice! I use them when I’m detailing but I should use them in this situation too!

[@Manihsi]

Thanks for Great advice!

[@btbd2785]

Hello Josh. This is definitely great for rubber matts. I wonder how it would work on Rubber windhield trim or any rubber trim around your vehicle? Can you also recommened a product that can restore any rubber door and windshield moldings? Somethings that can restore the black color of the trim, lasts a while, and doesnt streak when it gets wet?

[@jsteww15]

Plast Star by Koch Chemie (same company in the video) is fantastic for restoring rubber/plastic trim and moldings can even use it on your tires

[@donnovicki9771]

Good stuff but the Koch web site doesn't even describe the product or what it's used for. Glad I found this video.

[@PrinceOfDarkness1975]

Hey Josh, I’ve noticed the last couple times I applied this to my Weather Tec mats they had a slightly slippery feel for a few days. The GUF was also beading on mat and not flashing/drying? Any idea why/what I did wrong? I’ve applied it at least a dozen times over past 18 months and never had an issue. Ty.

[@DGYtown]

What nozzle tip are you using on the pressure washer sprayer

[@charlestapo1658]

Question in another video you used super clean with a spray gloss that was diluted with water, end result was bit more color and shine is this a better version of that or super clean still way too go?

[@michaelof2000]

Not saying he’s doing it wrong, because he’s not. But he’s over-simplifying it a bit. It’s a KZbin video so understandable. But here’s an easier way of going about it that’ll give you amazing results… Rinse mat with water, get as much off as possible. Spray a Rubber cleaner/conditioner/protectant (I use Mothers VLR) and/or a degreaser onto mat and let dwell for a minute or two. The VLR is for softening the rubber and making it more slick. Rinse again. If the mat is really bad and is still really dirty, almost oversaturate the mat with VLR and Degreaser and scrub with a brush, drill brush, or something so it’s agitated (preferably a soft brissled drill brush). Don’t rinse yet, but lift the mat and make sure there’s no sitting chemicals or water on mat. And spray only the VLR again, and let sit for 5 mins. Scrub again then rise off.

[@winner1604]

Great video again, what’s the name of your water based floor mat dressing

I used to use a diluted product from my local supplier car glo called aqua shine…

A video on how to clean a set of weathertech mats. First, use simple green and water and just as clean. Second, they are weathertech mats, after two-years, deposit in nearest garbage can and get a better set such as Husky mats. Last longer and cleaning is the same.

[@tdtommy196]

I got new floor mats from Ford for my F150. When I got them they looked faded to begin with, but I got them free so was not a huge deal to me. My son immediately, like within the first week of having them, spilled milk, fortunately on the rear mat and not on the seats or carpeting. By the time I got home, and pulled the mat out, it had already dried. I have since scrubbed the mat twice, first using just some car wash and a scrubbie, and then with simple green and a scrubbie, and while the mats look clean, there is still like this waxy looking film where the milk was spilled that I cannot get rid of. I think maybe the milk did something to the rubber. Do you think this stuff would work to fix it?

[@Sinister392]

Great channel ! I got a question I hope you can answer . I have a Daytona 392 with the decals , they are weathered and have a lot of spots on them . They are matte black . Is there anyway to bring them back or should I get rid of them and get new ones ??? Thanks in advance 👍

[@turtlos]

How's the slickness after it gets wet? It's typical that floormats get wet and the products sort of activate again, which could lead to slickness.

[@oscart698]

How did you dilute? And this is only for matts?

[@josenunez2414]

Can this be used in other interior surfaces such as softex leather like seats, dashboard, doors etc

You really only want to use this on areas your feet touch. Top Star would be the product for the rest.

Salt stains are difficult to remove from mats and carpets . Canada uses lots of rock salt on roads in winter .

[@e.cabrera1861]

Salt is an inorganic compound, you would need an acid based cleaner. I use Meguiars wheel brightener diluted 4:1.

[@zenon3021]

boiling water and a bit of shampoo, then shop-vac out as much water as possible. (Gets out salt easy-peasy). P.S - I wear 2 pairs of chemical gloves so I don't burn my hands in the boiling water :P

[@imjoshv]

Hey Alex, Ill do an update video soon but just to answer your question, it didnt last super long. Think of it as a tire dressing for the interior. Makes a huge visual impact but doesnt last too long. The more rubber mats vs this one that is a bit more plastic feeling seem to last longer cause the product has more to absorb in to

[@ShineAndPreserveDetailing]

@@imjoshv I appreciate the response man. Look forward to the update video. From the quick glance this seemed like the perfect solution to reviving the look of the mats without the slickness. So it’s good to know that it’s not a long term solution. I just got my 1L bottle of Gummifix in so I’ll give it a shot. Thanks Josh, keep shreddin. I did see another detailer used Renew Blak tire ceramic coating on the floor mats. That may be the long term solution then I’m looking for and need to try. He said it’s not slick at all after application.
