Nice job on those products, I use both & love the experience. I spray the mat with Adams , let it sit for a few minutes then agitate, rinse and dry. Then I “spray “ Gummifix (considerable amount) and let dry. A little slippery but nothing to worry about .No customer as ever complained of slick mats but they always comment on how bad ass they look .

I tried Koch chemie gummifix but didn't tried Adam's. Personally I dilute it 1:1 with water and got a pretty good results, might even try 2:1 or 5:1 in the future to see if it still looks as good 👍

[@frankcastaldi2531]

I use the Adams and I have no complaints.

[@josephonofrio7243]

Great comparison. Part of the test should be, do they get slick when wet.

[@DetailProjects]

Good point, a couple days after I applied these products we got some snow and I didn’t notice any significant slipping when the mats got wet, so that’s a good sign

[@J-rk1um]

Perfect, exactly the comparison video I was looking for!

[@rodandow1971]

I tried both and I prefer the look and feel of the Adam's over Gummifix. Gummifix left the mats slightly slippery where the Adam's did not.

I've got Gummifix and DIY Interior ceramic coating. I've actually ceramic coated my rubber mats in my gen 11 Honda Civic. It's great, This product is thinner then water meaning it coats inside the pours of the rubber and not over the top of the rubber which means it doesn't slip leaving you with the feel and grip like it was before. It does leave a darkening effect, It will leave a mat surface mat or a glossy surface glossy. Its a bit more durable then the other two and I maintain these rubber mats with Gummifix. So far so good. DIY interior is suitable for all surfaces except glass. I probably wouldn't use it on the foot pedals either, I personally don't apply any protection on my pedals, I just use Bilt Hamber Surfex HD to clean them.

Excellent review. Thanks for your efforts.

Great Review! KCX doesn’t supply sprayers due to its more professional approach. A lot of products need to be diluted before use. Also, a lot of professional large companies like to use certain sprayers or bottles. They sell them online but it is an additional cost. I personally put most of my product in IKs.

[@DetailProjects]

Thanks! I also dumped mine in an ik sprayer. Do you recommend diluting Gummifix?

[@MtnTownDetail]

@@DetailProjects no I wouldn’t dilute Gummi

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

FYI, After you have applied your conditioner of choice, place mats in full sun and it will "Bake In" the conditioner. Try it?

[@KingRockets]

Would you recommend just using one of these as your interior dressing as well? Or best sticking to another dedicated product like PERL?

[@DetailProjects]

I wouldn’t recommend using these as an interior dressing.

[@jaykid007]

They won't add the nozzle because you have to pay for it on their website

[@pauladams7180]

I agree, I can’t think of any other reason . Everyone else supplies a sprayer, DIY gives us a nice one.

[@jaykid007]

@@pauladams7180 very true. Pretty much all. DIY nice products for sure

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

Question?, has anyone ever used a trim restorer, like Cerakote, on floor mats? I just purchased the new ceramic trim restorer from Griot's, I will run my own test...

[@pigeonpoo1823]

303 aerospace Protectant is another good alternative, and it does all your plastics. Doesn't mean I won't try KC though. Cheers for the demo

[@DetailProjects]

303 is a great dressing however from my experience it gets very slippery when applied on rubber mats

[@josephonofrio7243]

@@DetailProjects Same experience with 303. Extremely slippery on mats

Guf made a mess applied with a sponge as directions on bottle state. Expensive and waste of money. Could not get a smooth application in small narrow groves of floor mats.
